I am an avid reader. Tried audio books for a year but found myself back to reading physical books. I like being able to mark things, note things down on the book as I am reading.
Typically, I read 2 books at a time. One about a skill I am trying to learn and the other is usually something I'm curious about.
Currently Reading
- Pragmatic Programmer - David Thomas, Andrew Hunt

Books on Pause
- Black Holes - Brian Cox, Jeff Forshaw
