Here is a table of books I’ve read or am planning on reading. Checkmarks means I’ve read it. If a book has multiple quality ratings it means it’s somewhere inbetween. If books are listed twice it’s most likely because I read it again.

The main purpose of this page is mostly as a reference for people who want to gift me books. Books are a nice gift because for them there is value in receiving books that I wouldn’t have bought myself.

I like to receive stuff that is both similar to things I’m comfortable and stuff I haven’t explored much of. In general I think I prefer shorter novels or short story collections as gifts since it becomes less of a committment, especially if it is something that is unfamiliar to me.
