A few years ago, I realised I was not reading enough, despite it being the one thing I was known for, and to remedy this, decided to read around 100 books in a year. A waste, truly, as I cannot remember a single one. I hope this log forces me to reflect more deeply on what I read. For much of 2025, I did at least write down some notes about the books I read, but fell into the opposite extreme, needing to understand every single page at a PhD level, scouring JSTOR and Sparknotes after reading. Of course, that burnt me out just as much as reading 5 books a day did, so now I have landed on this. Full sentence, brief reviews about my PERSONAL thoughts upon finishing each book. No more, no less. I might try to scrounge up all the other book reviews I've written in the past, as I did for my film log, but I make no promises.
