My first post! This is my reading stack this week.

The staying power of services like Goodreads has impressed me. It is 2025 and despite certain other projects, it is still around.

I decided to use it, signed up, got my own vanity url, added the next 9 books I want to read after finishing Bernays’ Propaganda (which is a very good book for graphic designers and communication designers, I think).

I have decided to see my work as a graphic designer as entrepreneurial: I need to nurture contacts, mutual respect, I need to invest in my own education, and I need to maintain myself as professionally as I can.

Reading Anything Else

NEW BLOG POST:

There’s a great quote from Terry Pratchett I see from time to time that I think about religiously then, clearly, promptly forget. It goes: “If you are going to write, say, fantasy – stop reading fantasy. You’ve already read too much.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1952-1954

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Prachet

I listened to the full cast audiobook while reading along...and it was amazing. I absolutely adored the experience and was definitely worth the time. It was so much fun and silly and interesting. I can see why Good Omens has been a favorite of so many people for so many years. I kinda wish I had gotten around to reading the book before the show came out, just to see how I interacted with the book and characters before Michael Sheen and David Tennant, but obviously it's a little late for that.
