It's my reading list. Books and essays I've enjoyed or collected from friends and people I admire. I'm always happy to receive book recommendations.
Exceptional ones are colored in blue, good ones in green. Many remain unread because I like keeping them here as a reminder of yet-to-be-acquired knowledge (or building my own antilibrary, as Nassim Taleb calls it). I've highlighted an Essential section with books I'd hand to my younger self first.
Lately, I've been focusing more on reading ancient books, works that have stood the test of time.
