2022
Welcome to my lists list. I like to keep track of the things I read, watch and listen to. You know, sort of based on that quote (which I have edited): “The person you will be in five years is based on the books you read, the movies you watch, the music you listen to, and the people you surround yourself with today.” It’s important to understand the things that you put in to your system. Think of it like a pop culture diet record. Or something like that. Feel free to follow along. Or don’t. Please feel free to interact and make suggestions. Or don’t. You can also browse lists from past years. Or don’t.
