    More great stories, some of which, but fewer than those in “Stranger Things Happen” would fit right in with those collected in “Black Water” (mastodon.social/@gravely/110403938932091902) and “Black Water 2” (mastodon.social/@gravely/110899731695137550).

    So good, I’m grabbing another collection of Link’s, "Get in Trouble”, immediately.

    What it says on the tin and knows it. Spoonfuls of chewy metaphors.

    I feel like more than a few people I follow posted about this over the past year so I eventually followed suit. More memoir (again!) than I’m normally into but just enough history, novelty, and new-to-me theory to be pretty good after all.

    After enjoying every single story in the “Hainish Novels and Stories (www.ursulakleguin.com/hainish-novels-and-stories), I figured I can’t go wrong tackling Earthsea for the first time by just reading all of them in the similar “The Books of Earthsea" (www.ursulakleguin.com/the-books-of-earthsea).

    I grabbed this one after landing on a Don Norman piece (www.fastcompany.com/90338379/i-wrote-the-book-on-user-friendly-design-what-i-see-today-horrifies-me). I enjoyed “The Design of Everyday Things" so I followed Norman’s suggestion to read Mismatch.

    Pretty quick read, and full of things so obviously correct that I got impatient with the author’s patience? Good stuff.

    Two memoirs to start the year. Weird, I never read memoirs.

    This one was quoted in some video I watched chasing Chris Scruggs stuff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeR2yZ2pWCw what a great band! that steel player?!) that I probably landed on looking up a 500songs.com (which I’m 90 episodes into) citation, so I found myself reading it.

    I don’t know how this made it onto my pile but it was a quick read (I started it yesterday). It’s so weird to read 90s tech memoirs. People were still sorta building stuff back then, weren’t sure where things would end up, and so on.

    Fun as expected. A pre-order, because that this point I just subscribe to Pargin stuff.

    It’s been two months since I finished anything, my head has not been in the right space to read, I’d bounced off three other things, and I’ve been taking lots of long walks instead.

    Someone in Bernal Heights (Bonview at or near Cortland? It was a few months ago) left a box of books on the sidewalk with “FREE” written on a flap that had a few things I grabbed, among them, DFW’s “Consider the Lobster, and other essays” which I started and abandoned (lol), and this.

    I enjoy stuff like this from time to time but don’t think I’m “smart enough” for it, whatever that means (and I’m not entirely sure).
