Been parroting Bloom ever since.

Currently Reading:
House of Leaves mfw I realised a book is a "house" of paper "leaves"
Gene Woolfe's V.R.T.
Lion Attack (Really hope it's all fiction because the narrator is too me if I was a Melbournite hipster douche to be real) But it's a good read if you're down under nevertheless.
The Golden Bough
Child Abuse in Freud's Vienna
Kaigan
The City of Z
Hitler and Napoleon: A Comparative Biography

I'm reading through Girls With Curious Hair, with Hideous Men and Oblivion waiting on the bookshelf.

All in all, not going to the library anytime soon.
