About
In a time where most of our attention is constantly pulled in different directions, this project is an attempt to slow down. For a long time, I’ve wanted to read more, but with all the distractions it was hard to actually get to it consistently. Over one semester, I will read eight books and document my thoughts along the way, focusing on the ideas that stay with me and how these books connect to today.
I hope you find it interesting, and feel free to share your thoughts along the way.
