Books

Here you will find a collection of books and articles which I have consumed or intend to. They span various topics, including but not limited to free will, philosophy, psychology, (a)theology, mathematics, and classics. My intentions are to leave my own notes and meditations on each text I read in order to help me better understand them, but to also share my views with others who may find them useful.

Note: I, of course, have not only read a few books of the many I own. However, due to my formating rigidity, I refuse to list a book as read if I am unaware of the date and time in which I have completed it.
