A list of books I’ve read since about 2010. Dates are a little skewed since Goodreads can’t quite figure out when I finished reading books. Even though I entered the dates when I completed them and moved them to Read from Currently Reading. But life is too short.

Currently* Reading

Currently* reading can be a stretch. Some books I’ll graze through over months (or years) like Tribe of Mentors. Some are library books where my loan expired but I keep them active so I remember to return to them when they’re available. Some books I’ve merely misplaced in my house and need to locate them before I can continue.

  • Subterranean Scalzi Super Bundle by John Scalzi
  • Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World by Timothy Ferriss
  • A People’s Future of the United States: Speculative Fiction from 25 Extraordinary Writers by Various Authors
  • Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear
  • For the Win by Cory Doctorow
  • Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life by Ozan Varol
