accessions 5jul23

I tend to use the winter months to read all the things I really should have read years ago. Given how much I love THE RINGS OF SATURN, it’s really kind of baffling and unconscionable that I haven’t yet read VERTIGO by WG Sebald. So this is now in the queue for when the nights get long.

This also marks the point where I start logging the books I’m buying. My reading queue is insanely long, partly because I buy books (most often when they’re on sale, a habit from my teens and twenties that I never shook) and then forget I bought them a week later.

I’m stealing the use of the term “accessions” from Paul Graham Raven, as a useful search operator to prevent me losing things, and because we write things down to remember them. Cheers, Paul.
