“Tell me what you read and I’ll tell you who you are.“
— François Mauriac
In additional to reading books for leisure I’m also trying to finish a technical or business book every 2 months, meaning 6 books a year. Topics are varied, anything that helps me become a better professional counts. I usually align the topics with my current tech focus (see the now page).
After completing a book I usually write up some notes for future reference, which I post on these pages. If you know of a really great book and think it’s missing on the list below, I’d be happy to hear about it! Please let me know at firstname dot lastname at gmail.
