September 2023 Books and Reading Notes

2023-10-012023-09-30 John Winkelman

This was an excellent month for acquiring books funded through Kickstarter. Three of the four new arrivals are crowdfunded, and the last is from my (surprisingly persistent, but not unwelcome) subscription to And Other Stories.

For reading, September was a slow month. I had a lot on my mind, and multiple side projects demanding my attention, and my reading pace therefore suffered. But what my reading pile lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. So it goes.

Acquisitions

Books which arrived at the house in the month of September 2023

  1. Cory Doctorow, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation (Verso) [2023.09.02] – Reward from a Kickstarter campaign.
  2. Douglas Adams, Kevin Jon Davies (editor), 42: The Wildly Improbable Ideas of Douglas Adams (Unbound Books) [2023.09.03] – Reward from a Kickstarter campaign. This one was long-awaited, as I backed it in March of 2021. Things Happened in the world in the intervening years, and my patience was well-rewarded, as this book is absolutely gorgeous!
  3. Ai Jiang and Christi Nogle (editors), Wilted Pages: An Anthology of Dark Academia (Shortwave Publishing) [2023.09.05] – Another Kickstarter reward. I have never read any Dark Academia stories, so an anthology seemed like a good place to start.
  4. Tanya Tagaq, Split Tooth (And Other Stories) [2023.09.22] – The latest book from my one remaining subscription.

June 2023 Books and Reading Notes

2023-07-012023-07-28 John Winkelman

June is my birthday month, and I celebrated by driving clockwise around Lake Michigan, starting in my home town of Grand Rapids and hitting Madison, Marquette, and Sault Ste Marie before returning home. In each city, we stopped at an independent bookstore where I offered my monetary support in exchange for bound bundles of words. That, plus the arrival of a couple of Kickstarter rewards, made this the biggest book acquisition month of the year thus far.
