A lot of people1 have online bookshelves where they share what they’ve read or want to read. I always enjoy browsing through others’ lists - there’s something nice about seeing what catches someone’s attention.
So here’s my own list of books I’ve read or wanted to read, in no particular order. Books marked with an asterisk (*) are ones that had a great influence on me.
Got a book recommendation? Or maybe your own digital bookshelf to share? I’d love to hear about it - I’m always looking for what to read next.
