I’ve shared books I read and podcasts I listen to in various inefficient ways with friends. I thought it’d be fun to list them in one place.
Books:
I don’t finish or read most of the books from start to end. I skip a lot as I feel a lot of books should be much shorter. I also do a lot of audiobooks lately. This is a list of books I’ve recently read or am reading right now in no particular order:
