READING LIST

One of my goals in the fall of 2024 was to read more. One may ask why I began this endeavor.

Was it for self-growth? Partially.

Was it a sudden burst of passion? A little bit.

Or was it wrought by pure guilt? Spot on.

Largely motivated by Why Everyone Stopped Reading by Jared Henderson, I wanted to take actionable steps to rebuild and maintain my reading stamina. So here are some books I've read.
