Reading list 2023/24

For 2023 I challenged myself to read one book per week. In order to make this challenge more concrete, I decided to make it public so that I am somehow obliged to succeed in this challenge.

It turned out that reading one book a week forced me to prioritize smaller books over the ones I really wanted to read… So I dropped that idea and now share here only a list of recently read books 📖.

I always share stories about these books on Instagram. You can contact me there to discuss common readings 📚.
