knizer stopped reading Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits by Anant Agarwal
This is a good book, and the text for the MIT OCW 6.002 | Spring 2007 course, Circuits and Electronics. This is a very, challenging book. This book is way too hard for someone not on an electrical engineering track, with the support of classmates also trying to grok it. If you're fresh out of physics/electronics courses, and have the time, and desire to do the calculations - this book is probably a revelation. But I dnf.

knizer stopped reading The Book of Elsewhere by China Miéville
Dnf, <5%. It’s a tie in for some Keanu written comics I guess? Couldn’t get past the prose, some painful awk turns of phrase and the general pew pew violence. I don’t tolerate John wick movies either? This one wasn’t for me.

knizer finished reading The Invisibles by Grant Morrison
First read. Confusing and surely a product of the mid 90s / this must have been a revelation when it came out. Slow parts, some pages I skipped over entirely; unexpected n-slurs, how times have changed. Ish 12 hit me like a truck, I can’t recall any other comic book leaning so hard into a nonlinear narrative, jarring. Must be post-Pulp Fiction. I didn’t get it before and now I get what they’re maybe aiming for here. Volume 2 queued up.
