Reading

Books I've read in 2026, and what I thought about them.

Atomic Habits

James Clear

Currently reading

Very good, easy read. Highly recommend for everyone who wants to be the best version of themselves.

Foundation

Isaac Asimov

Worth reading

The characters have 1950s vibes — cigars, all men in charge, the way they talk. Reminds me of Star Trek's original series and the Dune books. Unusual in that there isn't really a main character. Fun to see how science fiction started.

A Random Walk Down Wall Street

Burton Malkiel

Loved it

A phenomenal book for anyone looking into investing. Easy to read, and gives you a solid framework for making good decisions with your money. Well worth the time.

Runnin' Down a Dream

Bill Gurley

Good reference

Advocates finding your obsession and turning it into a career, which I largely agree with. Full of example success stories. The real gold is the author's recommended reading list at the end — a curated set of self-improvement and general knowledge books that's worth the price of admission on its own.

Want to read

Updating this as I go. Recommendations welcome — send me a suggestion.
