Author’s note: For now I am reading poems from John Keats. The short stories and collection of poems I acquired from the public domain.
Essays I collect from a wide range of sources: aeon.com, nautil.us, cleavermagazine.com, and many solo writers like Aldous Huxley and David Foster Wallace. I read anything that piques my interest.
Also a word about the essays, some of these behemoths are super long. While I will do my best to finish them in their entirety in a single day, I can and will read them over the course of several days if I have to.
