Shelf notes

Notes in the margin, collected in one place.

Slow start

The first hundred pages were hard going. The rest made up for it, which is not always the case.

A short one

October 16, 2026

Finished in two evenings. It said what it had to say and stopped, which more books should do.

Rereading

September 17, 2026

Picked up a book from school years. It was shorter and funnier than I remembered.

Gave up

August 16, 2026

Stopped halfway through a long novel. Life is short and the shelf is long.
