A list of Book, Novellas and Novelettes I've read this year.

Last Update: 26 October 2020

In Progress

• Debt – David Graeber

Paused

• What is Property – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

  This is a very dense book. Elaborate in it's reasoning. There are some real gems in here, but I assume the translation leaves some concepts less clear and the flow suffers. There's quite a bit of direct referral to previous concepts which drags out the easy points, but the harder points seem often glossed over so quickly that one has to stop and reread a single sentence and extrapolate (and usually, very slow get what he was after). I will definitely finish this, but probably a chapter at a time interleaved with Sci-Fi.

• How to Decide – Annie Duke

  Each chapter is very short. There are many worksheets and lists. It very disjointed, like frequent jump-cuts in TV/Movie. There's some decent strategies in here, but I find it difficult to read in book form. It seems like a few blog posts (listicles) that ended up bound with padding. It was not a cheap book either. I'll likely finish it, but need a break.
