Books
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. Love Ted Chiang's writing a lot.
I love to use ChatGPT as I work through more technical literature. But even fictional too if you phrase your questions well.
Love how some started making GPT programs tuned to specific books like this. Ask questions about the book directly and have language model explain things to you.

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
