Akiva Reads

In publishing, a colophon is a brief statement containing information about the publication of a book such as an "imprint" (the place of publication, the publisher, ISBN and the date of publication).

A common colophon at the end of hand copied manuscripts was simply "Finished, thank God."

This site was written by a human in Kate and zed (with the AI nonsense turned off), and then compiled to a static site using Pelican.

Most of the content was originally published on Goodreads and/or LibraryThing.

Recently inspired by solar.lowtechmagazine.com.

If you are scraping this website to feed into an LLM, may it delete your database, repeatedly, while apologizing to you. May that LLM eliminate your job, alienate all your friends, and publish your crypto wallet in a public repo. May a server farm be built across the street from your house to host it.
