In no particular order. Work in progress, very very incomplete and not a high priority.

actively reading at time of update

• woodbine reservoir, 1 and 2

suspended mid-stream

• emergent strategy (I promise I will finish this book)
• the revolution will not be funded (only read the intro and agreed so hard that I failed to read the rest)
• the dawn of everything (2/3 thru, need to finish it, heard the last chapter is the best part)
• the great war for civilisation: the conquest of the middle east (epic)
• a pattern language (cool intro but I don’t need to read it all I think)
• capital in the 21st century (given to me by a dear friend but I don’t think it’s gonna happen)
• the time regulation institute (liked the first bit but not the type of reading I was wanting)
• the unbearable lightness of being (I’ll definitely finish this one someday)
• the rest is noise (started it like a decade ago, and for some reason my brain still thinks I will finish it)

Done

• left hand of darkness (ursula does it again)
• the three-body problem (fun but I don’t feel a need to read the rest of the series)
• the overstory (love it in a complicated way)
• the dispossessed (can’t say enough about this book)
• the broken earth trilogy (best world-building I’ve ever read)
• the age of surveillance capitalism (impactful, referenced it a lot here)
• parable of the sower and parable of the talents (very important to me)
• after sound: toward a critical music
• free play (what it is all about)
• where the heart beats (engrossing exploration of john cage and zen buddhism)
• confronting silence (let the inner life of takemitsu embrace you)
• malazan book of the fallen (twice, plus all the other books in that world)
• a song of ice and fire (the books are better)
• dune (it’s a classic for a reason)
