Books
I love reading & listening to new books and making notes on things I've read and learned.
I keep Goodreads lists of books I am reading, want to read in future & ones I want to read next.
I also have bookshelves of books I liked & read.
Below are books I read (or listened) sorted by year I read them in. The books with links attached will lead to notes I made when reading the book. Books with 🌟 are my favorite.
More books should be interactive and web first like these notes.

Notes
- With Audible plans, you can do easy exchanges. Don’t love a book? Swap it for free, anytime.
- Kindle changed the way we read books and then… stopped there. I want social highlights, notes, flash cards, and fractal reading (each chapter summarized in 1 paragraph, expandable on several levels if you want to dig deeper)
- Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
- Read what you love until you love to read.
- I used to read a lot of old books growing up, and they were all different. And... being extremely online and reading contemporary things all day does have a sort of tunnel-vision effect. The way we live, the way we think, the way we talk. Go read a really old book from a different time, from a different place.
- Sometimes you have to read a book at the exact right time in your life for it to really click
