I recently discovered the joy of reading books. I never quite grasped the importance of reading during my school years, but now, I'm hooked! Starting with novels, I've expanded my horizons to everything.
What drives my reading choices? Two things really:
First, wanting to improve my communication skills (still a work in progress, slowly getting there!).
Second, whenever I learn about someone, I dive into their reading lists. I've explored recommendations from individuals like John Gachora, Patrick Collison, Naval Ravikant, Mohnish Pabrai, and Chip Wilson, among others.
I've compiled both my completed reads and my to-read list below.
Would love to hear what books have inspired you! Drop me your recommendations.
