This is my garden on the web. It's perpetually being tended, sometimes frequently, sometimes sporadically. It is the thing I am most proud of on the web. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to organize everything (the best way ain't reverse-chronologically, but that's how it is for now).
I wrote a book that I'd love for you to read. The first chapter is available for free and I'd like to put the whole thing online, eventually. I'm married to my beautiful wife and we have two little Zs, with a third on the way.
I despise the current trajectory of the web (despite being a web developer my entire life), and any use of this site for LLM, SEO, or any other acronym is specifically forbidden. If you're a person, welcome! Email me to say that you read and enjoyed something, or just to say hi. I'd love to hear from you.
If you’re new here, Into the Book was a book reviews website that I started when I was a teenager. We published almost a thousand book reviews from dozens of different people. We gave away several books, we interviewed authors, and we even reviewed debut novels.
It was a great example of what the web can be: distinct people from different backgrounds and locations coming together around a common interest.
Into the Book hasn’t been used much in several years, and when it has been used, I’ve dropped varying-appropriate blog posts on top of the old book reviews structure. The site is a bit of a listing hulk, still designed for one purpose but now housing things it was never intended to hold. What’s more, my computer is full of writing that I’d like to share, but lack a place to do so.
Hi, I'm Andrew.
