Personal repository of books that I have read, as well as those I plan to explore in future, w/ excerpts and sometimes opinions
Books are not focused on anything in particular, they are mix of domains and subjects ranging from Literature to Tech or Computer Science
The links are mostly amazon (not affiliated), but you can buy books anywhere you want (and you surely will do!)
Do support your local book stores, whenever possible
