Phill Brodnick is finished with Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C

I think I've plumbed about what I can plumb from this gigantic text-book-adjacent tome. I liked it, but I no longer enjoy staring at it as it sits in a perpetual state of "unfinishedness".

In defiance of all rational thought, this is my current night time read... also it doesn't even cover AES

I am reading this, but it seems kind of antithetical to the spirit of the book to publicize that, so I'm only updating my reading status to prove that I'm reading _something_ and it _just happens to be_ this.

This book is so long I can't remember what reading normal books is like.

I liked this but it was definitely depressing.

Phill Brodnick is reading Existentialism is a Humanism

A decent introduction to existentialism. This book is actually a transcript of a talk Sartre gave defending existentialism. It also contains his commentary on The Stranger, which is a real gem.

Phill Brodnick is on page 550 of 706 of The Magic Mountain

This book is one of the longest, slowest I've ever read and I can't tell if I like or dislike it at this point.
