Reading
Books, essays, and notes that are still echoing a little.
This page keeps a short, changing list of material worth returning to. It is less a recommendation list than a memory aid.
Currently open
A notebook on attention, a few essays on design maintenance, and a slow reread of travel writing with better margins than the first pass.
Recent note
Reading notes: attention and defaults looks at how queues and inboxes shape the way reading gets done.
Useful categories
- Essays that reward rereading
- Technical notes with clear examples
- Travel writing with concrete detail
Practice
Keep the queue small, copy fewer quotes, and write down why a passage mattered before saving it.
