2025 wasn't really a good reading year for me. I was out foraging at the Arts & Architecture library the other day and brought back Great Planning Disasters by Peter Hall
which I should have finished by the end of the year.
I must admit that Arknights has ate into my reading time, but I have a big project I'm working on that I call "foxwork" which involves animal behavior and physiology, character acting, shamanism, coaching, martial arts, physical culture, Eastern religion, meditation, Ericksonian hypnosis, etc.
The reading queue for that project is long but I've mostly been doing rather than reading. Next in queue is Tracking and the Art of Seeing: How to Read Animal Tracks and Signs because we often have fresh snow on the ground this time of year and it's a good time to see things like the tracks of a rabbit being followed by a fox.

Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner by Paul M. Sammon.
Well written, in depth history of the making of the movie Blade Runner. Very enjoyable so far!
