The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy. What it says on the tin. Bleak, pointed contemplation of death after a life that was perhaps not as well-lived as originally thought. I love the combination of bluntness and reflection in Russian stuff. Need to add some more novels to my TBR list.

Flowers for Algernon by by Daniel Keyes. Heartbreaker of a novel about intellectual disability and personhood.

While reading these pretty heavy books, I was watching ridiculous but enjoyable television:

Cobra Kai (season 6): Another final season! I do think they stuck the landing because the last set of episodes that just got released were very fun although during the earlier parts of the season I was kind of like wow, this should have ended in season 5. It is a dumb show about teenagers and old men having karate wars but I love Johnny Lawrence and some of the comedy is gold. Watch a gateway vid: St. Elmo's Fire by [personal profile] lilly_the_kid.

And, speaking of vids, I got a new [community profile] vid_bingo card and we'll see if I manage a premiere for [community profile] vidukon_cardiff. April 6th deadline seems very close to me for any of my current ideas.
