Beating around the Books | Hamnet: Reading Vlog | Reaction | cats & ducks @beatingaroundthebooks | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
In which I try my hands at a #ReadingVlog because I need to talk about Hamnet. Also featured: lunch*, ducklings** and cats.
**I've since learned that Egyptian Geese are technically ducks, so their young should be called ducklings 😅
Book mentioned:
Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
The lunch may not be very pretty, but it's very tasty: *Spicy red lentil soup with mushrooms, tomato, celery and savoy cabbage.

In which I attempt to explain my thoughts on reading guides for House of Leaves, using a very surface level understanding of the term ergodic literature.
The book I took the introduction from is
Cybertext: Perspectives on Ergodic Literature by Espen Aarseth
