sometimes i miss the train

[koncupiscence]

this is a cheat of a post, i'm aware, but whatever, it's a post nonetheless.

being frustrated with how few books i've read since moving back to california, i thought perhaps if i made ~a list~ it might pressure/inspire me to pick up an actual novel more often. because it's not like i don't enjoy reading, i do! it's just too easy to turn on the boob-tube and zone out instead. i did read a lot of comics in the last few years, which is great and i intend to continue that, but additionally, my brain NEEDS MOAR WORDS.

so here be The Lists that i will update as warranted throughout the year. and while i'm at it i'll track my movies too, just for kicks.
