A short, unscientific list of what I have been dipping into lately. None of it is new and none of it is urgent, which is exactly why it suits the season.

## On the margins of things

I have a soft spot for the words people leave in the edges of books. This is a good place to begin if you want to understand why.

## Keeping a commonplace book

The oldest note-taking system there is, and still the one I would recommend first.

## A typeface worth knowing

The serif this site is set in, designed for reading on screens at any size.

If you have a short reading list of your own, I would like to hear it.
