Finished reading: Firestarter by Stephen King 📚

I know a lot of Stephen King books are considered scary, but so many of them, including this one, make me sad. Compulsively readable as King always is.

📚🗯️ Just read Detective Comics #359, the debut of Batgirl aka Dr. Barbara Gordon. I love it and I love her.

I just finished Book 1 of Emily Wilson’s translation of the Iliad and she’s done incredible work. The language is so accessible. This is the most readable translation of classical literature that I’ve ever read. Highly recommend already. 📚

August is the month of the sealey challenge, an annual challenge to read a book of poetry every day in August. You can modify the challenge to suit your life. The goal is just to read more poetry. I’m going to try to read Emily Wilson’s translation of The Iliad. 📚
