this is lowkey nonspeculative horror, I have a lot more to say about it but not at the moment

Reading Log: Duineser Elegien - Elegies from the castle of Duino

I stopped reading Duineser Elegien - Elegies from the castle of Duino by Rainer Maria Rilke ; translated from the German by V. Sackville-West and Edward Sackville West. [ Paused at 31% ] 📚

Random serendipitous connection to two other books I was reading-

Random serendipitous connection to two other books I was reading-

  1. I Love Information references these, which is why I looked them up.
  2. This apparent first translation of the elegies into English was made by V. Sackville-West, to whom Orlando is dedicated, and who appears as Orlando in some of the photographs in the book. (There’s a lot more to possibly say about her connection to Virginia Woolf and Orlando, but I’ll leave it at that.)

I read I Love Information by Courtney Bush again. 📚

I Love Information - Cover

Now I’ve read this book twice, I could probably read it again and again, but I don’t know why exactly

Should write more about this book (and I have written more about this book) but don’t feel like sharing yet.

I meant to read every book by Grant Snider at this time (had them all from the library) but I didn’t get that far. Another time. Poetry Comics, tho.

I read The Octopus Museum by Brenda Shaughnessy. 📚

Wasn’t quite as cohesive as I was hoping, but I don’t know that it intended to be.

Impulse-ordered copies of I think almost all of her other collections to read soon; used copies from 3rd-party amazon sellers because I’m an evil cheapskate. I had them checked out from the library and they were long overdue, needed to return them, so that was a step up towards paying my share.

Not that great as a graphic novel tbh, but definitely age appropriate and on an important topic/moment for which there isn’t much available

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Cover Art

I’m hooked after starting this on a whim one day while browsing Apple Arcade for the first time on my laptop. I’d wanted to play something on the Switch but not enough to kick my kids off the Switch.
