I enjoy the structural simplicity of this website, it feels comfortable to navigate.

Lol. I remember going onto marxists.org a few years ago for a research project and it took me two hours to find everything that I needed.

Given that marxists.org throws a PDF at you when you choose an author, I think you've done much better.

i really love the awful structure of the website sometimes because when you find something really cool it feels like you struck gold

Nice website. You have good taste with what you read. I need to read some more myself, as I have more books than I know what to do with. Do you, by any chance, get your books secondhand? I have found that secondhand books are oftentimes the best deals, all things considered. That aside, I look forward to future updates. Keep up the good work!

thanks man, for me i mostly get books secondhand unless i want a clean copy of something in particular, but i mostly buy my books from Library Genesis and load the pdfs/epubs onto my ink ereader

most of my notes have been digitized versions of handwritten notes but i find handwriting notes to be incredibly labour intensive and my preference has become left side of screen: html, right side of screen: pdf/epub, which is what im doing for Logic of Desire

It happens to be that library genesis has most any book you look for . . . infinite copies, too!

library genesis is great for non-fiction which is what i mostly read but dear god their fiction scans can either be nonexistent or awful, which is why i now have a shitload of fiction on my physical bookshelves

I mainly go to libraries and used book stores in my area for almost all of my books. Sometimes I am given a copy from the school/college I attend, but usually the nonfiction that I am given are guides which usually have an insufferable author's tone used throughout.

i haven't really gone outside until last week when i took a road trip to georgia just to visit the museums, so i felt overdressed being the only one with a mask. it's actually kind of the OPPOSITE of surprising that everyone just stopped wearing masks only because people stopped talking about it. everyone seems to think its all over just because covid talk started becoming an ubiquitous piece of news

Today is mainly a day for structural updates, with finishing the Links page being my primary goal. I also my begin to transfer my style from HTML to CSS. The site for my web novel is going to need this before I can load actual content to it.

CSS has been loaded, I may make some slight stylization edits, providing I am able to find the font used in older .htm and .txt files. Does anybody know? I will likely test the font on one of the new book review pages.

If you were used to seeing a particular default font, it may be one of the ones mentioned here: https://www.awayback.com/index.php/2010/02/03/revised-font-stack/

Found the font and it has been applied to a few lines on the recently created 1984 page. Seeing that the font is more compact, it might be better for longer reviews.
