Reading & Books

​

The following is a list of books I have completed and plan to read (or re-read). Fiction, non-fiction, classics, short stories, poetry, or anything people recommend. The goal is to keep updating this reading list based on suggestions and discussions. 

​

I usually keep my reading goals quite private, but I thought of sharing my reading journey with the public to encourage those who are interested to join me in exploring these texts. Reading is a beautiful endeavor for the individual and equally magical when embarked on collectively.
