Library and Book Reviews — Analyses and Reviews

In 2020, I conducted an experiment on myself and forced myself to read books. Just a couple of months later, I got hooked on reading and since then I have read book(s) and continue to read eagerly.

This section is regularly updated — reviews in the form of individual pages are gradually being added for all books.
