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.
Not so long ago, I created an Instagram account @books_re_views,
where I post all the books I've read and briefly review them. You can also find a ranked list of recommended books to read.
Some of the recommended books without sorting or priority are listed below.
