I learnt about Alex Guzey on MR first, and then (as is my wont) promptly forgot his name. Which made it impossible to search for him on MR, and so for the longest time I knew there was this “Twitter guy” I had to look up – but it’s difficult to run a search term like that.

Until one day Twitter said ok fine, and randomly bubbled up a tweet by Alexey Guzey about a blogging renaissance, and I was off to the races:

I propose a new term: readomasochist

That would be a person who derives gratification from adding to an already humiliatingly long to-read list

And here is his substack on “The Best of Twitter”

Perfect way to spend this weekend, if you ask me.
