Well, my self-imposed book buying ban lasted two months. I imagined a scenario where book censorship is ratcheted up within the next four years, thus my book purchases are now framed in the light of some noble protection of knowledge. But it's not hoarding if it's books, right?

At the outset, I’ll use this platform to share book reviews and marginalia.

My book buying has dramatically outpaced book reading, so I’m imposing a book buying ban through the end of 2025. How I’ll go a year without stepping into a bookstore I really don’t know.
