My Library

This is a compilation of books and other works that I’ve read and enjoyed, or want to read at some point. As well, there are links to websites and other web content I think is cool. This is mostly here as a reference for myself, but it serves as a list of potentially interesting recommendations for others as well! Blog posts that mention a book or other resource will linked after after the title, listed by date. Constantly a work in progress!
