Books this year

Notes in the margin, collected in one place.

October 26, 2026

A short one

Finished in two evenings. It said what it had to say and stopped, which more books should do.

Notes

September 29, 2026

Writing two lines after each chapter helped more than underlining ever did.

Slow start

September 7, 2026

Gave up

August 5, 2026

Stopped halfway through a long novel. Life is short and the shelf is long.
