Book about books
2020-24 (collected 2024) / Ebook / 87 pages
***
A parent's bored, compulsive catalogue of things he largely has no interest in, bizarrely reviewed from his own perspective rather than the child's, even though that's of no use to anyone.

2015-20 (collected 2020) / Ebook / 303 pages
**
The updated edition everyone's been waiting for, expanded with another year's worth of lightweight reading with lighter summaries and scraping the barrel to count more childhood books and other retro submissions not considered worth mentioning last time. Same time next year!

2015-19 (collected 2019) / Ebook / 178 pages
*
Piffling "reviews" (some as many as four words in length) of a seemingly totally random selection of books organised by author, all copy-pasted from a blog without the original context (if any) or cover images to look at, and only some finickity tweaking to make the pages square up. I don't know why I bothered. At least it's free.

Books about travel
Freelance Flaneur: Year One
(47 MB)
Covers September 2010 to September 2011 in Italy, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Singapore again (plus 20 minutes in Cambodia).
It's almost entirely the same stuff you can already read here, but more annoying to navigate. I really did spend far too long on this pointless project when I should have been working or just trying to enjoy life rather than getting pissed off by disappearing text boxes. But look what's included:
- 268 PAGES!
- SOME! new photos (but mostly loads taken out)
- LESS! content overall
- ANGRY COMMENTS! left by dicks
- ILLEGAL! third party copyright images used without permission
- LIMITED EDITION! in that it's loads more limited than a website
Freelance Flaneur: Year Two
(62 MB)
Covers September 2011 to September 2012 in the Philippines, Borneo, Thailand, Cambodia, South Korea, Japan, Sri Lanka, China and Laos.
- 280 PAGES!
- BRAND NEW! lazy introduction
- UNSEEN BLOGS! for a couple of weeks before they went online anyway
- MORE! needlessly thorough appendices
- MORE! illegal third party copyright images used without permission
- STILL NO HYPERTEXT OR LINKS! for difficulty of navigation
