Hello, I am experimenting with running a micro bookwyrm instance, to journal the books that I read.
I live in France near Paris, and work as an IT guy for IPCC. I read rather slowly, mostly in French, essays and novels, sometimes poetry or comics. I have this setup where I read french books and review them here in English.
I am moving from a taste in politics towards a growing interest in philosophy, science remains a constant. Also Maxzor on Mastodon.
