Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
5/27: listing
...the books I've read so far this year. I've kept a record since 1985, and though I don't often go back and look at it, it would feel odd to stop. These days I tend to add to the list a couple of times a year, pausing at the end of May, August, and December to write down titles. Today I did the reckoning for January through May: 53 books. And I may manage one or two more before the end of the month. Though I don't equate quantity with quality, the sheer number reminds me what steady companions books are and have been for me.
