Books I‘m reading

A list of the books I read and am currently reading.

My main reading goal is to avoid the daily and live news, focusing instead on the many books I bought. I’ve been trying to go through my library with varying results, mainly disappointing, until the beginning of this year. Here is a list of what I read and what I’m reading now. The record started at the beginning of 2023, and the post will be constantly updated.

In progress

  • The Expats, by Chris Pavone
  • 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People, by Susan Wienschenk
  • Ultra-Processed People, by Chris van Tulleken
  • Children of the New World, by Alexander Weinstein1

Finished

  • Ariadne, by Jennifer Saint
  • Flashforward, by Robert J. Sawyer
  • Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, by Philip K. Dick
  • The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula K. Le Guin
  • Black Hole, by Charles Burns
  • The Deception of Harriet Fleet, by Helen Scarlett
  • Extra Bold – A Feminist, Inclusive, Anti-racist, Nonbinary Field Guide for Graphic Designers, by multiple authors
  • Hamnet, by Maggie O’Farrell
  • Stories of Your Life and Others, by Ted Chiang
  • The Norkfolk Mystery by Ian Samson
