Personal Bookshelf

This section contains the list of books that over the year I read. I used to hate reading books but apparently, the practice of reading books creates cognitive engagement that improves lots of things, including vocabulary, thinking skills, and concentration. So because of that reason now I have a personal goal to at least read 12 books per year.

This year I have read 6 books out of 12

Agastya's Recommended Reading

Honestly, I don’t read books with the goal of self-improvement I read simply because I'm curious and genuinely interested. The perfect book isn't necessarily the one everyone recommends but it’s the one you find yourself unable to put down. As you explore more books, your tastes naturally become refined, and you'll find yourself increasingly drawn to deeper topics, theories, and insightful non-fiction.

If picking up reading feels challenging, don't force yourself to start with something considered "important." Instead, choose a book that excites you. And remember, there’s nothing wrong with stopping a book halfway through if it doesn’t hold your interest just as you wouldn't finish a boring YouTube video, you're under no obligation to finish every book. In the reading community, we often call these unfinished books "DNF" (Do Not Finish).
