I like a bunch of stuff. Doctor who stuff, Godzilla stuff, making stuff, watching stuff, reading stuff and eating stuff. Collector of vintage recipe books. Maker of rash purchases.

I read a book. It was disturbing
The Vegetarian. Han Kang, 2015.
The author's first novel to be translated into English. It's hard to describe this story of mental illness and taboo, set against the backdrop of a society where people are expected to conform.
