something resembling a reading post

I haven't been doing a lot of reading of the sort that seems worth logging here -- email and Discord chats and news websites all use those skills, but in smaller pieces -- and my previous reading post was on November 2nd.

This is long because I don't have the time to make it shorter, so mostly it's copied from the booklog I keep on my PC

( cut for length )

I have several library ebooks on hold, mostly with the holds suspended so the books don't turn up too soon, or too many at once.
