Scale your Everest by Erik Z. Severinghaus

New job, so I figured now was as good as time as any to read the co-ceo's book. For a book about a man climbing Mount Everest, it is a shockingly humble and mindful work. In an effort to combat bias, I do have to call out the unhinged footnotes.

This was perfect for my bus ride home. Thank you.

Cover of Twelve Months by Jim Butcher

Twelve Months by Jim Butcher

We're so back. Peace Talks and Battle Ground were pretty choppy, but Butcher's righted the ship. Crazy lore reveals, crazy reunions, I laughed out loud, I cried, I don't know what else I could've asked for. Read this series; Start at Dead Beat, then try Storm Front.

Cover of Let Me in Your Window by Adam Ellis

Let Me in Your Window by Adam Ellis

Ellis does such a good job introducing premise, developing tension, and playing with modern technology in the form. I want to see him unleashed on a longer format and answer, "If this is true, what else is true? And, if that is true, what ELSE is true?"

Cover of Bad Dreams in the Night by Adam Ellis

Bad Dreams in the Night by Adam Ellis

Scary, but superficial. I don't know if it's his art style, but this felt a little tongue in cheek throughout. I really liked the commentary after each story, and the stories are all clearly very personal, but I wish that came through more in the telling.

The Order of the Stick: On the Origin of PCs by Rich Burlew

I can't believe I've been reading this series for twenty years, and it can still make me laugh out loud. If you want to understand what makes me tick, I think you could do a lot worse than reading this and watching The Venture Bros.

Cover of You Like it Darker by Stephen King

You Like it Darker by Stephen King

Like any collection of short stories, there's some bangers and some duds, but the back half of this is absolutely stacked. Rattlesnakes is a phenomenal sequel to Cujo, The Dreamers is a great nod to Lovecraft, and Laurie is King at his best.

Cover of Billy Budd, Sailor by Herman Melville

Billy Budd, Sailor by Herman Melville

It would not be too far a stretch of the truth to say that, in this writer's view, Melville's prose (while often parenthetical and meandering) nevertheless brings joy not unlike that found upon grasping some ineffable truth once thought hidden by the Creator

Cover of How to Invent Everything by Ryan North

How to Invent Everything by Ryan North

North makes humanity this loveable bunch of saps bumbling around in the dark accidentally inventing things that work for the wrong reasons, and says "Look at all the great things these bozos did. You can do better. Go do it."

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

King Sorrow by Joe Hill

Starting the year off with an absolute ripper. Joe Hill wrote a love letter to his dad chock full of gold coins for Constant Readers to find. I love the way he plays with form: short chapters, changing fonts, looping narratives. It's 900 pages but I never wanted it to end

Books I've finished in 2026 thread:

Frame #14350 from S03 -E15 - Battle Jumbo Mushroom-628420

the "the myth of consensual sex" meme where it's a couple saying they consent but then jesus is off to the side saying he does't, but it's been changed so it says "the myth of consensual urban transit planning" And the couple is labeled "city dwellers" the man is saying "we should make it easier to not drive here" The woman is saying "like building bike lanes or adding bus routs." And Jesus has been replaced with clip art of a farmer, labeled "someone who lives 1000 miles away and has no involvement whatsoever." and is saying "Stop trying to take my car away I will kill you" text at the bottom still says "isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?"
