Pangobooks - ADOPT Enjoy savings with promo code ADOPT on Pangobooks

My end goal is to open a bookstore.

The cool thing is that no one says it can only be a brick and mortar one.

So for now it’s the coolest used bookstore on the interwebs β†’

Books I Can't Wait to Read Again Some highlights from my 2025 reading list

Sometimes you just can’t get some books outta your head.

I’m looking at you @joeabercrombie.com @stephenking.bsky.social and Pierce Brown.

What is the point of books? It's not an age old question, but it's an interesting one.

Wrote this piece after getting lots of comments on a random thought I had about books & audiobooks…

The Walk For Peace came down the road my neighbor sits off, so we had to hangout in the cold and pay our respects.

I read a quote today that said, β€œNormalize not having an opinion on politics.”

Excuse me good sir, but I believe your white privilege is showing.

My wife’s Apple Watch barely makes it through a day without dying or hitting low power mode. Mine’s usually still around 30% at the end of the day, but it’s crazy for sure.

"Between the Christianity of this land and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference-so wide that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked."

I used to wonder how people were so ready to accept the Christianity of human traffickers as an expression of righteousness & Good News.

Then I saw people fawning over β€œthe gospel” being presented at a WWE produced White Citizens Council rally, and it made more sense.

Some days I just want to listen to loud & heavy music that I can’t understand the lyrics to… because it’s just how I feel.
