Reading List

This is a list of the books I've read over the last few years, including audiobooks I've listened to. This list does not include books that I started but never finished because I lost interest. If the book is in the public domain or freely available, there's a link for the ebook or website. I've compiled a condensed Recommended Reading list of books that have been highly influential on my thinking and lifestyle.
