2023 Reads

I read a fair amount these days. I do it strictly for pleasure which frees me to take my time and explore a wide range of topics.

While not everything I read is about investing, I find many to have relatable themes. Below is a catalog of books and papers that I consumed over the past year. For a running list of my top recommendations visit the Favorite Reads page and see prior years’ lists here.
