Some art I’ve happened to be considering this week seems appropriate to post for Waitangi day. You can figure it out yourself without my commentary though.

Here is a photo of a random (I swear its not set up) pile of books in my room. I have many such stacks. I like this because it is NOT my top 10. It includes some of my most favourite books, but also those that reflect my mostly failed attempts at reading popular stuff, some about where I am at, a couple that were recommendations, some that were life changing at the time but I now finds embarrassing.
Books on my spinning chair. In no particular order
