User Profile
Pseudonymous writer/reader who loves both maximalist novels and flash fiction. I also love to read about Buddhism; mindfulness; science (particularly astrophysics and human perception); Black history, literature and criticism; science fiction, fantasy; poetry; and psychology. I love to read newspapers, front to back, although it's a luxury these days. (I also love Harper's, but just for the cryptic crossword at the back!)
I created this account just to procrastinate from doing work!
