What I am reading this spring
A short list, mostly so I stop buying new books before finishing the old ones.
Fiction: a collection of short stories set in Hokkaido fishing towns, read slowly on the train. Non-fiction: a history of the Tokaido road, which makes every shinkansen trip feel a little guilty.
Technical: a book on database internals. I read one chapter per weekend and write a page of notes, which is the only way any of it sticks.
