Books I Have Read
Here are some books that I have read (in no particular order), my favourite quotes from them and so on.
Till sometime around 2019, I never wrote anything on books while reading. But then, till that time, I've lost a lot of books to people who I, very generously (with a lot of trust), lent my books. Now, I write all my thoughts in the empty spaces- and books have become so personal that I can never dare to lend it to anybody.
Will also be featuring some books that I am about to read and am very excited about.
You'll see a plethora of books from a variety of genres (obviously excluding the ones which can only be used as study materials, but then I doubt whether I can make that distinction). Might as well treat it like a book recommendation page.
Putting the books out here on the blog will also work as a accountability thing wherein I have promised myself to read at least 2 books a month which I want to raise to 4 by the end of year.
In the words of Paul Kalanithi, "Books have become my closest confidants, finely ground lenses providing new views of the world."
