Hi. This is Luke, one of the contributors of this horrible beast. I started it years ago, abandoned it, and now… now I’m going to reanimate it into a shambling patchwork of nonsense. Sounds like a great plan, right?
Bear with me while I get things going. I used to have a lot of headers that were placeholders from when I had high hopes for my ability to make something sustainable. I deleted them for now, but I haven’t completely given up on that. Right now the only half-operative one is Superhero Junk, which has some toy checklists only I care about that have been largely ruined by WordPress turning all my images into webp, a format that should not exist. Ah well, live and learn or something.

Apparently, and this is something I hadn’t really digested, I’ve become a person who needs to make time for reading or it just doesn’t happen. This is new for me, as I’ve spent most of my life being the person who puts reading first–to the point that it’s sometimes been an issue for me! So let’s see…
West Read Ever
William Bruce West and I weren’t close. It would probably be more correct to call us “acquaintances” than “friends”. But the man had presence, and adult friendships are weird in the online/social media age. He was an oversized part of my life just through being in it at all. After his stroke I was mentally filing away things to chat with him about, or that I wanted to get his take on. I still find myself doing that here and there. I miss him a lot. In February of 2025 Will gave himself a reading challenge on his blog, West…
