My topics of interest: books (mostly non-fiction and on a wide range of subjects), bats, squirrels, film/tv, gothic & morbid stuff, fountain pens & stationery, Hookland, museums, and tea. I barely post, for which I apologize. I'm working on it.
I decided to track all the books I read in 2026 just to see how much I actually read instead of what I think I read. Probably won't post them all, but it feels like a fun task.

[Finished] "Presence: The Strange Science and True Stories of the Unseen Other" by Ben Alderson-Day. It's about the neurology & psychology of sensing a presence—hearing voices or feeling like there's someone else in the room when there isn't—but also touches on the Third Man Syndrome. Recommended!

There are a surprising amount of episodes of 120 Minutes, with the videos, (and sometimes commercials) on YouTube already if you haven’t seen them.

Reading: "Designing with Smell" ed. by Victoria Henshaw. It's a textbook on using scent in art, architecture, and performance. Disney's use of Smellitizers in Imagineering started me on this reading topic, but it's also made me more conscious of paying attention to the scents around me.

Horrific times create an ethical imperative to ask yourself “What can I do?”
The answer is of course, “everything you can.” How that translates into specific actions is gonna be different for everyone.

[Book] "America's Horror Stories: US History through Dark Tourism" by Kevin Revier and Favian Alejandro Martín.
One of my major interests is dark tourism and efforts to portray troubling history well, but too many books are either too academic or too aimed at "gore-hounds". This looks reasonable.

In 2002, ABC-TV ran a telecast of Stephen King's Rose Red, about a haunted house in Seattle. The story was completely fictional (www.historylink.org/File/5351) but HistoryLink was flooded with demands that we tell the "truth" about this horror house on the hill. www.historylink.org/File/4001
