Here I am maintaining two broad reading lists, that I will attempt to update every couple of weeks. In the first, I am documenting papers or texts that I am reading at the moment, that have that have stood out to me as of particular interest for one reason or another.
I might include a sentence or two indicating its particular interest to me every now and then.
In the second list, I am documenting general books I have been reading lately, and to some extent enjoyed. Again, I might include a sentence or two describing the given entry's appeal to me.
On this page I'll display the most recent updates to each of the lists, but I'll also maintain past entries on dedicated pages:
past academic lists and
past general lists.
