I love this idea of an archive / index. I love when books reference other art/books and have definitely picked up other books because of that. I have a little goal that I want to read all of the books she mentions in her epigraphs. I'd love to see how you are organising this? Just the title of the book and then a reference?
Thank you!! I've found it helpful already in remembering where I saw a piece of art mentioned in the masses of media consumed, and finding it was in a book I read last month. That is a great goal, and it will lead you on a curated reading journey! I should post a photo of how I'm organizing it, but it's very simple and unfussy, just the title of the book with the author and the month in the top corner, somewhere, and then I start listing. If I need the distinction, I might label something as artist, artwork, essay, novel, etc.
I love The Archive idea - especially if you read non-fiction, this would be such a life-saver. I do get a lot of ideas of what to read next based on blurbs included in the books I like and sometimes those get lost in the shuffle! I am going to try to create my own version somehow... Thank you so much for the inspiration!
I'm also not a fan of new year resolutions but enjoy reflecting back on the year as it closes - especially when it comes to books I've read. I really like your more/towards and less/away from list and think I'll adopt that going I to 2025!
i love the idea of carrying around an archive journal--i've tried multiple versions of this but nothing has worked so far. thanks for sharing the desk flat lays, i love them!
