Good Books
Why even have a page dedicated to books?
I think that ingesting information in general is always beneficial. The more you know the smarter you are. More specifically, books capture knowledge that is both put on youtube, but also not available on youtube. I imagine books as a way of transferring wisdom and learning from people you would normally never learn from or run into. I also think it's a really good habit to read, the resulting self reflection is great, and the talking points I get from them are even better.
My hope with sharing books I've read is that it might impact other people and inspire them to pick up a book, perhaps one from below.
Also, I want people to know that I read: a habit that many might consider rare today. It could also give someone more insight into who I am, and how I function.

I'll continuously compile books here. Some daily reading for me includes the WSJ and Barrons, on top of a bunch of other news sites specific to crypto like coindesk or cointelegraph. I'll update them here as well soon.
The point of this page is to serve as a record, and encourage others to build discourse communities around the topics they find interesting throughout their lifetimes in order to stay updated and challenged mentally.
