Book Progress & Reviews

This page lists the books I'm currently reading as well as the progress I've made towards completing them. When a book is finished I'll write a review of it. There is an index at the bottom of the page with links to all of my book reviews. I should mention that I've read books other than this, but this is my reading list and progress starting from July 3, 2025.
