My Book Collection: 548 books
This originally started as my Amazon wish-list. Books that I picked up from other books, videos, podcasts, or topics that I was interested in and searched for.
However, it eventually became obvious that I’ll never be able to read them all, so now it’s just sort of a gigantic book compilation, and I usually pick the books I’ll read next from here.
These are not book recommendations per se. It’s a personal collection, which may or may not be useful for you. Some you may agree with, some you may not. Some might be too simple, some too complex.
Since it’s no longer a wish-list, I also added some books that I already own or that I already read, although that’s a minority for obvious reasons.
I wish I could have better organized it, and have the authors and links to the books, but I just don’t have the time. The categorization isn’t perfect, as I didn’t put much thought into it and doesn’t matter a huge deal.
You may notice that there is often books that look very similar. This happened when I didn’t feel comfortable leaving one out, so I just saved both (or more) so I can decide later which one I’d read.
