Books still play an important role as a valuable source of knowledge, especially in today’s toxic environment of short-form content that dulls the mind through endless scrolling. Instead of mindlessly scrolling, I choose to spend that time reading books.

Plus, I think it’ll be pretty cool to tell my grandchildren one day that I’ve read 1,000 books in my life 😂.

To optimize my time and memorize key information effectively, I follow this strategy:

  • Read as fast as possible, and highlight parts that are difficult to understand. Sort out the important pieces of information.
  • Re-read and focus on the parts that were hard to understand.
  • Regularly recall the key information.

Here is my reading list, tracking from June 16, 2025.
My goal is to read 1,000 books. Consistency is the key.

These are the labels used to categorize the books: Self-help, Literature, Philosophy, Science, Business, Professional.
