My Library

Here are a list of books, in no particular order, which I value. It may be of interest to someone who broadly shares my interests, and be of no interest to everyone else. For the time being, I will list only a few books, and keep adding bits in the next few months. Let me stress this bit: this list is in no particular order.

I believe that good books have to be read not just once but several times. With suitable gaps, each re-reading helps in comprehension, especially non-fiction books that deal with fundamental principles and ideas.

These days you can get soft copies of any book that you wish to read. I have nearly completely given up on reading hard copies. This way I can read them on all my devices — smartphone, laptop and desktop. For .epub format books, I use Calibre on my desktop, and on my smartphone I use READera — an excellent program for reading all formats.

I have a soft copy library of around 20,000 books. If I am able to read just one percent of them, I’d be satisfied. Many of the books recently added to my library are sourced from Library Genesis.
