Porgera Update 20 Jan 2026
This is a (hopefully) weekly update about events in Porgera. A few caveats: I’m not in Porgera and I’m only relying on my own knowledge of the valley and open sources. I am not a lawyer. I do my best to keep the dates straight but they may get a day off due to my being in a different time zone than Porgera.

My 2025 Reading
This year I used StoryGraph to track my reading daily, and then I went back to LibraryThing to track my reading over time. LibraryThing is great: fully featured and non-evil. I also tried Paperback for tracking reading but I think they're not quite ready yet -- maybe in 2026. There is definitely room to improve on StoryGraph. Anyhow, I aimed to read 52 books this year and ended up reading 57.
My 2024 Reading
I challenged myself to read 52 books in 2024: One book a week. In 2023 this led to a lot of reading at the end of the year to keep up, but this year I did a much better job keeping an even pace, so reaching the goal was not as stressful. This year my goal is to read longer and more serious books while keeping up this pace.
