The Male Hysteric

Well, today I was at therapy and we were figuring out our schedule for the next month or so, and I realized that my next appointment is on US election day, so that's terrifying.

I've finished reading all 10 novels for this year, but I do not have a write up for them yet, I am working on it. Right now my thoughts are, I am not sure if I'm going to read any more novels this year. Probably, because there's still two months left, but also I feel like I have a lot of non-fiction and short readings to catch up on, so maybe not. Next year, I'm thinking of maybe going for twelve novels?

I saw a production of a play version of Frankenstein and it makes me very curious about the version that Mary Shelley saw before she did her rewrites. It also makes me wonder if I should hurry up and make my own interpretation because it does seem new compared to most interpretations.

I am also maybe starting to get into zines? If I find any interesting ones online I may post them here, though a linklist for online zines seems like something I'd put on my static site. I have been thinking of making my own, but it may not end up a zine. It's something about how moderation on the internet is the secret sauce that holds everything together and people don't realize it and it's why we can't have nice things and why we can't seem to "go back" to a simpler internet. But it may be too long or meandering to make a proper zine, I don't know.

I am also, well, still working on the same science fiction novel. Who knows how that will go.
