A shelf is a more honest record than a reading list, because it includes the ones you did not finish. I go along it in order and do not skip the embarrassing part.
What is in it
- 00:30 The four I reread every year.
- 03:20 The nineteen I abandoned, and the page-sixty rule.
- 06:45 The one I have started five times.
- 09:10 What the shelf says that the spreadsheet does not.
Made with
- A slider, used once and regretted
- One 35mm lens
- Two lamps
The barn conversion book is on there three times. I have no explanation.
