Reads
A project brought on by the habit of taking notes while reading and finding connections. Inspired by Mandy Brown’s and Derek Sivers’ projects.
Slowly migrating and cleaning content from margins, notebooks, Google Docs and Goodreads…
Each post will eventually contain more details (ie. summary/notes/highlights).
