Reading list
The one constant in my life has been my love of reading, and of learning from what I’ve read. This page lists the books that I recommend across a range of different categories.
For some of the items on this page, I’ve written book summaries, which include key quotes and passages worth sharing. I’m trying to add more of these book summaries to this reading list whenever I can.
