reading
This is the reading that informs the directions I write in.
I'm now studying again - so will be including some texts that are informing that research (and I guess the same requirement for them to be on this list, which is a cover-2-cover reading).
I read on a bunch of different screens, and am actively seeking a open source e-reader solution; like The Open Book Project.
I keep my library organised and convert, edit and build books within Calibre.
I’m building libraries with Calibre-Web.
I’ve also been posting real-time reading updates via finger:
