My Reading List

The purpose of this reading list is for me to document and reflect on achieving the goal of reading 1000 books in my lifetime. I am by all means a chronic ‘tsundoku sensei‘ (art of buying books and never reading them).

I have tried to list all the books I have bought over time and may have read or let them pile up first. I will be adding more to the list once as and when I progress into this reading list.
