If only I had the time

I read the most recent edition of Craig Mod’s newsletter Roden Explorers (Archive, Subscribe to it), and it made me sad that I don’t have the time or the energy to read everything that he links to. It all looks so good!

But time is the most precious of tings, and I —like everyone ever— don’t have enough of it.

Be that as it may: If you ever wanted a solid list of cool books, articles, and essays on the process of writing you should see what Craig has put together.

Up next Slow Cinema, a top 10 list. The Ghost of Auschwitz.
