+ Before 2021 I hadn't read much since middle school. As a kid I loved to
+ read, but all the garbage I had to read in high school and college

+ great a book can be in 2021 þanks to
+ <i>The Last Place on Earth</i>, and I've been trying to make up for lost
+ time ever since.

+ At any given time ðere's usually some random topic I'm idly
+ researching. Recently I've been learing about Germanic cultures and
+ languages, especially Old Norse and Old English. Ðe characters eth
+ (Ðð) and thorn (Þþ) are used in some languages to
+ represent ðe "th" sounds in "then" and "thin" respectively, and I've
+ used ðem on ðis page because ðey are cool.
