Reading

I've been recording the books I read for a couple of years now, and have found it a useful practice for thinking about what I've been reading. It's the page of this website that I update the most. A low effort, new line, title, author.

I keep my library organised and convert, edit and build books within Calibre. Recently I've also been using Zotero alongside this, for more focussed note making and collating bibliographies.
