I've been reading books every day for a while. Here are some books I've read so far and the reading list where I pick the next one to read.

These titles were mostly from people recommended in podcasts I listen to and blogs I read. They are about entrepreneurship, running businesses, and building products. I'll try to keep the list up to date and add some of my insights.
