2023 Reading List
For 2023, I aim to be more purposeful in my reading: delve into new areas, revisit
books partially digested, and partake of what has enlightened or inspired friends.
Last but not least, I am setting out to have more fun and not overthink this. Reading
daily should be a joy, not a chore. As such, I may deviate from this but mapping out
the terrain beforehand should enable a more fruitful exploration.
