this is a somewhat messy list of stuff or people i'm quite fond of.

note that most things are ordered lexicographically because i don't like orders that give some elements greater importance than others.

reading is nice, but i actually don't spend much time reading, and i don't really know why. maybe it's because i consider it a very slow and calm activity and i might be neglecting calm and relaxing activities ?

that does not mean i don't have a few books and authors i really like.

• books by alain damasio
  • la horde du contrevent, 2004
  • les furtifs, 2019
  • vallée du silicium, 2024
• ciel, johan heliot, 2014-2016
• le passage (or holes in english), louis sachar, 1998
• l'île mystérieuse, jules verne, 1874
