I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

    House of Leaves. Although I’m struggling because I haven’t read a physical book in years and I can’t bring it everywhere like I can my Leaf 2.

      I actually just got this delivered recently. Haven’t had the chance to dive in yet, but its reputation really precedes it. Every video essayist I follow on Youtube has talked about this book at some point. Very much looking forward to it.

      I love that book.

      The reading of the book becomes part of the experience of the book in a way that feels unique and engaging. If you like the format being part of the story I have to recommend S by Doug Dorst and JJ Abrams and to a lesser extent the Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kidd.

      Man, I read that and all the crazy notes in all different directions. Quite a trip. I personally think it could have been a bit shorter and deliver the same effect, but it really is pretty neat and original. I hope they make it into a film or show someday - it deserves the treatment and the author deserves the $$.
