LLin's Notebook

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.
