Reading List 2025
A running list of books that changed how I think.
Favorites So Far
- The Pragmatic Programmer by Hunt & Thomas — timeless advice on the craft
- Deep Work by Cal Newport — focus is a superpower
- Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Kleppmann — how distributed systems actually work
- Atomic Habits by James Clear — small changes, remarkable results
I aim for 20 pages a day. That is roughly 25 books a year without forcing it.
