• 두 사람의 인터내셔널 - 김기태; January 2026 -
• Piranesi - Susanna Clarke; January - April 2026
  • a gentle breeze of a story, like a soft tide pool. being lost, then found, then found again. a little ribbon-slip of an ending as well. there’s a certain lulling ease that comes with solitude. i think when we forget ourselves and let go of our ego we come to be more appreciative of the way things are, without wanting them to change. a rather buddhist take.
• Futuromania: Electronic Dreams, Desiring Machines, and Tomorrow's Music Today - Simon Reynolds; March - April 2026
  • read most of the essays, skimmed through a couple, pretty interesting! been listening to lots of synth pop and hyper pop lately, some great underground sounds have been coming into the mainstream. liked the essay on daft punk in particular
• Dark Places - Gillian Flynn; March 2026 - June 2026
  • okay and fine. it dragged until it didn't... don't think anything will top the experience of reading Gone Girl for the first time
• Film Theory: The Basics - Kevin McDonald (2022 ed.); April 2026 -
• Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino; May 2026 -
• Yaga - Kat Sandler; June - July 2026
  • short and sweet, i think it excels precisely because it wraps back around to women taking power into their hands and using it effectively. not all men, but it's always a man, and it's always one of them getting in the way, bogged up by a modicum of justice
• The Unworthy - Agustina Bazterrica; July 2026 -
• Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant: Confessions of Cooking for One and Dining Alone - Jenni Ferrari-Adler; July 2026 -
