The Reading List
Books, and what I take from them.
A running record of what I’m reading. Some are finished, some in progress, some still on the shelf. A recommended list of books that shape my mental modals and my thinking. I mostly read about business, finance, psychology or biographies.

Recommended
The Psychology of Money
Morgan Housel
Behaviour beats spreadsheets. The best short book on why smart people make bad money decisions — and why compounding rewards patience over intelligence.
Poor Charlie’s Almanack
Charles T. Munger
Mental models, one after another. Read it slowly. The idea of a latticework of disciplines is the single most useful framing I’ve picked up for thinking across investing and software.
The Beginning of Infinity
David Deutsch
On the power of ideas and the nature of quantum mechanics. A profound exploration of epistemology and progress.
One of the clearest thinkers on decision-making, investing, and the intersection of both. Essential reading.
Howard Marks’ memos. Slow, deliberate thinking on markets and risk. Worth reading every single one.

The list grows faster than I read. Suggestions on investing, systems, or the space where they meet are always welcome.
