A huge amount of my time now is spent reading, for both school and leisure. In recent years, my reading diet have been dominated by technical content. I prefer physical books. This section is a place for books I {have read, hope to own, read fully, read partially}.

With a life expectancy of 81 years + An average of 2 books per year, I can choose only about 120 books out there to read and “accept that I’ll sign off for eternity without knowing what goes on in all the rest”.

Most of these are textbooks, references, or just plain classical texts in the field. The status syntax is inspired by the symbolic notation used to describe the permissions of a file in a Unix system.

rop, r = read, o = owned, p = read partially / going through the book
