Reading Room
Welcome to my cozy reading corner. Here, I share a collection of books that have made a lasting impact on me. My reading is guided by curiosity, exploring topics such as physics, Economics, History, Technology, Fiction, and Nonfiction. More recently, I've also been drawn to Neuroscience, Consciousness, and Metaphysics.
Each year, I explore fifty to a hundred books. I don't follow a set order; instead, I dip in and out, following whatever sparks my interest. Below are the ones that stayed with me, books I returned to, reflected on, or found surprisingly useful in everyday life.
