I was never much of a reader growing up, but nowadays I make it a priority to read more. The following table is a list of books I have read overtime and my general feelings towards them. If you have a certain book you would like to recommend to me, please email me at the address displayed on my about page.
I see now that by compiling the books I’ve read, most of them are fiction. I want to read more non-fiction in the future. However, I see reading any book as a way to figuratively flex your reading muscle, therefore making you a stronger interpreter of information.
Books I’m currently reading are highlighted in yellow and my progress is tracked by a progress bar.
Books I Plan on Reading
- The Last Days of Scorates, Plato
- The Republic, Plato
- The Autobiography of Mark Twain
- The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
- The Black Swan, Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Notes |
🖼️ |
| Permanent Record: Edward Snowden | Excellent. |
 |
| The Caves Of Steel: Isaac Asimov | A succinct and interesting science fiction mystery novel. Contained undertones of revolution, neo-luddites, and robotics. This book somehow connects to Asimov’s Foundations series, which I may read in the future if I find a box set for cheap. |
 |
| 1984: George Orwell | Great dystopian novel. I read this book before going to bed over a series of nights: probably not the most uplifting book I could have read. However, this book continues to be prescient in regard to the surveillance happening today. |
 |
| Dune: Frank Herbert | Very solid science fiction novel. No desire to read the thousand other Dune books, but the first novel by itself stands as a captivating read. Highly recommend to anyone. |
 |
| How To Win Friends And Influence People: Dale Carnegie | I plan to re-read this one after already having read it a year or two ago. From what I remember, a lot of the ideas boiled down to just being a courteous person. |
 |
| My Ántonia: Willa Cather | Full thoughts here. |
 |
| Stoner: John Williams | A sobering book that warns about the dangers of becoming forgettable due to living a life of passivity. A dry story with artfully done prose. |
 |
| The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn: Mark Twain | Really enjoyed this one. A great story with a vivid picture of 1800s America. Makes me want to read some of Mark Twain’s other work, including his autobiography. |
 |
| The Catcher In The Rye: J.D. Salinger | Full thoughts here. |
 |
| The Four Agreements: Don Miguel Ruiz | Meh book. The only reason I bought this book was because I had some faint idea that this was a book someone recommended. The ideas in this book are pretty weak and mild. |
