Books, movies, animes, music, and half-baked blog ideas :3

Books:

You know, I'm starting to get into buying books for myself and then writing in them. There's something about that level of engagement that helps me really absorb the material, I think. I used to read a ton of fiction when I was in middle school. I never got the point of book ownership then because I really was only reading to pass the time. Nowadays, I'm reading for some kind of enrichment, and I want to remember everything that I read. Owning a book is also nice, because that means I can go back and read it again or something. Also consumerism.

  • Flatland - https://listed.to/@angelofd3sth/48634/flatland-review
  • Beyond Good and Evil - currently reading this
  • The Myth of Sisyphus
  • No Longer Human
  • The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life - read a few pages, and ended up dropping it. To be fair it was on e-book format and I think I'm more a physical book kind of person, so I might invest in this.
  • Critique on Judgement

Okay, I've obviously watched more movies than this, but here are the ones of which I've written about.
