All ya’ll probably know that essays are my favorite sub-domain of literature. Befitting this preference, these are the physical books I sprang for because my love of essays exceeds my antipathy to meatspace books — and more are on the way.

Haven’t started any of them yet. Got some textbooks to finish. Even I can only read a few of those at a time combined with little else while working, or risk brain meltdown.

Yeah, some men actually do listen to women. Their music I mean. And more than that. But here we are talking about music.

The first 10 songs in my current playlist:

All female-fronted. Not at all unusual for me. 90% or more of what I listen to is either female-fronted or all women. I don’t listen to albums, though, and haven’t since the 1990s. I just don’t like enough songs on the average album to make that worth my while.
