All right kids it's time for my annual "books wot I read" blog post where I review my year in reading:
https://www.stjohnkarp.net/blog/books-wot-i-read-in-2025/
It's been a fun year in books and I read some really wild stuff. Here's to all the fun we're looking forward to in the new year!
#GoodReads was considerate enough to inform me that I have not succeeded in completing my reading goals for 2025 (No shit. Not a great year for sustained focus...:-/)
This also reminds me that I need to get the fuck off of Goodreads(Amazon) and stop using it. It's been crap for years and will, most likely, continue to be so.
About 2(?) years ago I exported all my lists over to #LibraryThing (?); but, I never managed to start using it.
Getting off Goodreads seems to be a good little resolution to complete for my New Year.
I don't really consider my reading much of a social activity; but, I do like having a public database of books, and creating some #ReadingLists is useful, to me. Also, the incremental tracking important, since I'm usually in the middle of about 6+ books at a time.
Are there any other applications I might consider besides LibraryThing? Suggestions?

I muse about #AI, #ArtsPedagogy, #ReadingLists, and the joys of rebuilding a music library. Finally, my #ResearchSemester officially begins!

All it takes is for people to remain silent when those who dare speak out are silenced.
First, they might lose their jobs for speech. Later, they are imprisoned for their speech. Soon enough, the price of speech rises to the ultimate cost: oneโs life.
But itโs not always easy to recognize that moment of no return when youโre living in it. Are you overreacting or just seeing things clearly?
