Introduction
This page, over time, should have a good set of material that I’ve read. I have this page split up into two major sections:
- Books - Classified as either hard bound, or soft bound traditional distributed paperback volumes. For EBooks, a corresponding physical copy exists in some form. Commonly found on amazon.com, or books.google.com.
- Research Papers - Classified as text that’s presented on a topic in an academic setting. Blog posts are not Research Papers, commonly found on scholar.google.com, doi.org, etc.
For each section above, I have subsections of:
- Upcoming - Books that have my interest, but I haven’t started yet.
- Current - Books I’m currently reading.
- Read - Books/Papers that I have read, and potential links to a review are provided.
I started this initiative in 2022, and while I have a good deal of logged books elsewhere, I made a concious decision not to incorporate them here.
Books
In the books section, I cover many, but not all, books that I read. Generally speaking, any non-fiction books will appear here. Anything fiction based likely won’t (for now). Mostly to keep the number of books reasonable here. That said, my stats on Fiction books are:
