I've always believed that the surest way to sharpen thinking is to spend time with great books. Over the years I've carried paperbacks in backpacks, hardcovers on flights, and audiobooks through late-night coding sessions; some made a big impression, others barely a ripple. Below you'll find what I'm currently reading, followed by books that have already left their mark the ideas I keep quoting, the frameworks that reshaped my work, and the stories that still echo long after the last page. This collection isn't meant to be exhaustive or academic; it's simply the living record of my reading journey. Whether you're hunting for a fresh perspective or just a solid weekend read, I hope you'll find something worthwhile.

A quick note on inclusion: books in the 'Books I've Read' section are ones I've finished and believe offer real value practical insight, unexpected wisdom, or pure inspiration. I'll keep adding new discoveries and, when needed, pruning titles that don't hold up on a second pass.
