I will read anything, just about, hence the name. I'll read more of the same if I like it. If you see anything that I have that you'd like, just message me. Or if you have anything I'd like. Which is:


I like reading about ...
Science, philosophy, cooking, climbing and walking, human global / personal development ("Small is beautiful", "Zen mind, beginner's mind", "The complete book of self-sufficiency"), history, comedy, music, comics and seals.

I like reading books by ...
Russians (Gogol, Solzhenitzyn, Dostoyevsky), waspish wits (Saki, Oscar Wilde, Ambrose Bierce), climbers, magical realists (Latin-American, Salman Rushdie, Haruki Murakami), early sci-fi writers (Alfred Bester, Ray Bradbury, J. G. Ballard), Aldous Huxley (so far), comics (Alan Moore [finally got 'V for Vendetta'!], Daniel Clownes, George Herriman), people I haven't read yet.

I haven't yet read ...
Much Virginia Woolf or James Joyce, modern female authors 'cept Alice Munro, in fact most "literature" from 1950-now, many poems that don't rhyme, many art books (but I like...), any Korean novels, Robert Crumb, Phillip Pullman, the Canterbury Tales, plays, Hamlet, palms.

If it's good enough ...
You can make a short story out of it.
