Finished Reading Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity by Ray Bradbury A reread for me. I’m 90% sure I originally bought this books in college at UNL’s University Bookstore.

Watching/Listening My writing “playlist” has been nearly exclusively David Bowie concerts. Thank you, YouTube bootleggers. One of my favorite things about Bowie concerts/performances of the mid-90s onward is his duet of “Under Pressure” with touring/session bassist Gale Ann Dorsey.

Tales from an Unwieldy Library I’ve finished cataloging my physical books, aside from a shelf of old textbooks. I’m not counting textbooks in my “to-read” numbers and most of them are Eric’s anyway.

Finished Reading The Haunting of Alma Fielding: A True Ghost Story by Kate Summerscale Heard about this book from What’s Nonfiction’s fabulous blog. I’ve read quite a few books about magicians and, tangentially, spiritualism due to the vocation of many magicians to debunk (or, alternatively, learn from) mediums. As a skeptic myself, I find mediumship […]
