Welcome to joshuaw.xyz, my home at the end of the internet.
Visit the now page for a summary of my recent activities.
At the moment I’m primarily using this site to track my reading. You can skip straight to my reading log and book cover gallery, which is otherwise buried behind some clicks.
Visit the about page to find out more about me and this website. In the past I’ve used this site for much more than a reading log, and I hope to expand its breadth again very soon.

I read Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson. 📚
Amazing images and atmospheres throughout this book. Among other things it made me want to take photographs, gave me new ways to think about photography. I like photography but I’m a dummy about it.

I've been listening to Complete Discography (shuffled) by Big Thief. 🎵
Listening to every track by Big Thief on shuffle because I’ve wanted to see them for years but never could, and found out they are doing a Twilight Concert in Salt Lake in September for just $20 a ticket and I got a ticket and now I just need to figure out if or how I can convince anyone in my family to go to this concert with me. No worries if not, though, I will not hesitate to go by myself.

I read Still in a Dream: a Story of Shoegaze 1988-1995 by various authors. 📚
I don’t like how this is still showing as a ‘currently reading’ book on my website after all this time, so, though I am not finished with the overall shoegaze/dreampop/4AD/90s rock listening project (mission creep and distraction) I am marking this ‘completed’ as a book.
