Time to re-read the master

I've started reading this again after a break. I'm enjoying it. It's a breazy read, which makes sense as the pieces were all blog posts. Fisher has criticised Alan Moore a couple of times in this, which feels like a contrarian position for a British critic who loves pop culutre to take.

Not going to lie, this one is a struggle. Really boring, technical stuff. I'm definitely going to have to read David Harvey's companion to understand this.

I was over halfway through this when I lost my Kindle a few weeks ago. I'll have to pick it back up when I get a new one

I was perhaps half way through this when I lost my Kindle. It's bloody annoying, especially because I had a lot of books on it. Anyway, I'm paused on this at the moment

Just finished re-reading all of the Song of Ice and Fire books and thought I need to read something completely different. I haven't read Jane Austen in possibly 15 years and I have only read Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey before so it's time to read one of her most popular ones.

Back on the ol' dragon crack

I'm up to essay 27, which means I am 16% of the way through as the Kindle doesn't tell you your page number for some reason. I have enjoyed it so far and found Montaigne as contemporary and engaging as I had been lead to believe he is, but I'm going to dip in and out of it rather than plough straight through a book of 1344 pages.
