On Books
DESCRIPTION
This project is a curated collection of readings, notes, and reflections on the evolution of books, publishing, writing tools, and reading habits. The repository engages both historical and contemporary perspectives—examining how the form of the book has changed from print to digital, how readers and authors interact in new environments, and what remains of the “book” metaphor. It includes commentary on writing platforms, self-publishing ecosystems, and design of reading experiences, making it useful to writers, educators, technologists, and book-enthusiasts alike. Rather than simply listing titles, the project links readings to categories like writing tools, reading devices, publishing models, and distribution systems, helping you place each resource in context. The author invites contributions and suggestions, reflecting that the project is both a personal log and a community resource.
