Dropped Items


I sadly won't be able to read everything I come across during my lifetime, and I think rather than consciously attempt to finish everything I read, I should let myself take a step back and tell myself, in the wise voice of Greg Universe, It's always okay to bail. So, here's a list of everything that didn't entirely hold my interest that I may one day decide to return to. I call it my anti-library.

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived, Paul S. Kemp

Deleuze and Guattari's 'What is Philosophy?', Rex Butler
