I'm almost finished with The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's set in the 1950's and tells the story of an aging butler on a motoring trip across England. It has been a very enjoyable read so far, and I will definitely check out some of Ishiguro's other work after I'm finished with this one.

Also, I've just discovered the 33 1/3 series (they are basically novels or essays either about or influenced by classic albums, each one by a different author) and I just finished the Black Sabbath's Master of Reality one, written by John Darnielle. It was a quick read and, as a fan of both John Darnielle and the Master of Reality album rather unsurprisingly, I absolutely loved it. I'm going to check out the Sigur Ros one next, probably.

I've been keeping a journal loosely based on the bullet journal system for a few months now and it has been great for me. I use it to keep track of tasks, write down ideas, take notes or write down interesting passages from the books I'm reading, tell about stuff that happens in my life, etc.

It's a nice system, but maybe a little too organized for me. However, I find myself using the journal a lot more now than I used to when I was keeping a more unorganized, idea-based journal.
