Books Read (starting January 2026)

• Adam Bede (George Eliot) April 6, 2026: Read about 60% and gave up. Wasn't really up for what it was turning into, especially given that it was quite a slow read.. Notes here.
• Evelina (Fanny Burney) March 2026: Read 75-80% and skimmed the rest. Notes here.
• Upheaval (Jared Diamond) February 26, 2026: Read about 77% and gave up. My review here.
• A Skinful of Shadows (Frances Hardinge) February 8, 2026. Pretty good! My first Francis Hardinge. Quick review here.
• 100 Love Sonnets (Pablo Neruda) February 1, 2026. Notes, copied from my Goodreads "review".
• Three Becomes Two Becomes One Becomes None: cosmopoiesis of mandragoras (Leonie Brandner) January 19, 2026. A cool idea, but the execution was unfortunately kind of half-assed. Short review here.
• We Have Always Lived In The Castle (Shirley Jackson) January 15, 2026. (NOTES)
• Prague Garden (Eduard Škoda) I think I paid a little less than $3 USD for this, and that was probably a slight overpayment. January 12, 2026.
• The Secret History (Donna Tartt)(started December 2026). Fantastic.
