What are you reading

This is the year I finish In Search of Lost Time. It's going to happen. Also tried rereading Codex Alera for the first time in a decade, doesn't hold up.

I read a bunch of dry, contradictory technical documentation for setting up forum software this past week. Does that count?

Still probably better than Codex Alera. Mutually exclusive technical documentation teaches you discernment and patience, Jim Butcher has taught me nothing but new ways to hate poor prose and also that, if you're stuck in a swamp and want to keep walking in a straight line, you should set a series of mental markers (say a tree there, or a rock here) at three foot intervals to avoid curves. This, admittedly, is pretty neat despite the rest of the series being dreck.

im reading Buried Giants extremely slowly. im not sure if it's good but it fills me with minor dread. it feels like anything could happen for no reason.

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have consumed my bus rides to and from work for the past several months. i've been taking notes on the writing systems and languages within; my goal is to figure out as much of them as i can from the books alone, and i've made a pastime of journaling in the hobbit's runic-english script
