📚 Books
I’ve always been an avid reader, although I’m heavily skewed towards non-fiction.
I’ve started to see great value in reading fiction too lately, but haven’t built up a great list of fiction recommendations yet.
Two points I’m applying to my reading practice:
- Re-read the best multiple times
- Drop the ones which don’t resonate immediately
I’ve marked the must-reads IMHO below with an asterisk (*)
