Reading List
The reading list forms the foundation of this project. Organized year by year, it records the books that have shaped its direction and reveals how subjects cluster, overlap, and reappear across time. Each entry marks a point along a larger path of study, showing how sustained reading becomes more than the sum of individual titles. Rather than a static catalog, the lists reflect a process in motion — a record of curiosity turning into continuity, and continuity into deeper understanding.
Current 2025 Reading List
This year’s list is a live collection, updated monthly, that blends re-reads of foundational works while exploring new books in philosophy, history, biography, and politics. From Leibniz and Mises to Washington, Jefferson, and MacIntyre, the list reflects a commitment to both depth and breadth—returning to formative books while discovering fresh perspectives. It is less a static catalog than an ongoing record of growth, study, and reflection through the year.
2024 Reading List
In 2024, the focus turned to business and finance, with more than 30 books studied on investment, entrepreneurship, and case studies of both success and failure. Along the way, new insights shaped the first steps of a business plan while a love of reading across many subjects — including spy thrillers — kept the year balanced. In total, 78 books were read, each one adding to a broader journey of learning and exploration.
