Library

Once a simple list of books, this library now includes references to notes about books I’ve read, films I’ve watched, and albums I’ve listened to. Take a portal to each section below:

Books

This is a list of all the books in my personal library. I haven’t read every book here, nor do I own all the books I’ve read or like. I also don’t necessarily like all the books I own. Where I have read a book at least once I will mark it with a 📖. Books marked with a 🌟 are a must-read (multiple stars are my favorite novels of all time). Let me know if you disagree with any categorization. For books I have reviewed or written essays about I will link to the relevant blog post.

Films

Unlike Books list, this does not serve as a catalogue of the films I own; it serves as a registry of notes on films I have watched over the years, ordered by year of release then by name.

Music

Unlike Books list, this does not serve as a catalogue of the music I own; it serves as a registry of notes on music I listen to and enjoy.
