Not quite a book but definitely a long essay.

"A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" by David Foster Wallace.

Great read on consumerism, escapism, and the funny things that people seem to do on cruise ships.

Also just started keeping a public kanban board of my book backlog and wondering if others do something similar? I'd be curious to know how others organize their book lists and peaking through to find new things to read. https://github.com/davidsantoso/books/projects/1



The public kanban board is an excellent idea! I'll probably set up one for myself this weekend.


+1 - thanks, ddsaso! Worth digging into the thread just for this.


Glad to hear it! Feel free to open a new issue if there happens to be a book you think I might find interesting based on the books I already have listed. Or if you start your own book list kanban board I'd be interested to see it.


I use goodreads to keep track of the books I want to read, books I am reading, and books I have read.


Thank you for the Kanban idea; I love it.
