Readings, January/February 2026

This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series Readings 2026

January and February of 2026 were not so great for reading. While I didn’t have to teach after mid-January, I spent a lot of my energy in that month working on music for an upcoming computer game that my friend Jeremy’s working on, and February, well… besides working on a translation due in the middle of the month, my son was on school holidays for most of February, so… yeah. I didn’t get to read as much as I would have liked. Still, I did get through four books, which is not nothing, especially when one of them was like …

Best Reading of 2025

This entry is part 8 of 8 in the series Books Read 2025

I’m running a bit behind on this, mostly because I’m teaching a winter course at work and those are always pretty time-intensive, but I thought I’d briefly discuss my favorite reads from last year, out of everything I read this year (pictured above, and see also here). I’m including fiction, poetry, and graphic novels (in that order). No nonfiction, but basically just because none really made the cut.

November/December 2025 Readings

This entry is part 7 of 8 in the series Books Read 2025

For this last bimonthly installment of my recent reading for 2025, I’m including RPG stuff here on this page, since there isn’t a lot of it.

Anyway, here’s the last of my reading for 2025.

September/October 2025 Reading

This entry is part 6 of 8 in the series Books Read 2025

Here’s what I read in September and October of this year! I didn’t really read any RPG-related stuff in the past couple of months, at least not cover-to-cover, so this will be the only readings post for these months.

July/August 2025 Reading, Part 2: RPG Books

This entry is part 5 of 8 in the series Books Read 2025

I recently posted about the fiction and nonfiction I red in July/August here. That’s only half the story, though: I also tore through a bunch of RPG books this past couple of months—mostly at the end of June and going into August—and that’s what I’m going to discuss in this post.  (I’ve split this the two posts up because I know some people are more interested in reading about RPG books, and some aren’t at all.)
