A list of things I’ve read this year. Last updated 2018.11.02
I primarily read hard-copy used books. Sometimes I’ll buy you a book to read and call it homework.
The answers to everything are already out there if you’re patient enough to find and read them. Previous lists: 2017 / 2016 / 2015 / 2014.
Oh, and my recommended digital reading from Medium & Pocket.
