Books!

Created 2022/10/29. You can skip to the list of posts below.

Books! You know what a book is. I don't think I need to define it. Reading seems to come in waves for me. I'll spend four or five years reading heavilly and then nothing for a few. I mostly read sci-fi, especially old cyberpunk fiction.

I have a few additional tags for various book formats: hardcover and paperback, with "paperback" including both traditional mass-market small format paperbacks and larger trade paperbacks. I try to buy hardcover when I can.

I'll use this tag whenever I have something to say about a book (which isn't often). Would like to start up a regular review practice some day.
