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.
Marginalia
Marginalia are marks made in the margins of a book or other document.
Keeping a commonplace book
The oldest note-taking system there is, and still the one I would recommend first.
Commonplace book
Commonplace books are a way to compile knowledge, usually by writing information into books.
A typeface worth knowing
The serif this site is set in, designed for reading on screens at any size.
Newsreader
A text typeface designed for on-screen reading, with an optical size axis.
If you have a short reading list of your own, I would like to hear it.
