Books
There are multiple books in this page. Please be aware I’m not an encyclopedia. I’m far from remembering everything on every book. However, even though I might not remember everything, these books helped shape my mind and make me think the way I think today.
You can find a list of some of the books I read over the years. Non-exhaustive list. Not sorted in any way.
