Personal development notes and experiments

Book Reviews

This is an area where I write about the books I read so I can remember them by forcing myself to think a bit extra on what was written in there.

P.S. I intentionally do not run the texts through any AI tools, so beware of non-native english speaker kind of bugs in there.
