"I cannot live without books" - Thomas Jefferson

As an avid reader, I've always found immense joy in exploring different book lists, constantly on the lookout for new books to read. My interest in reading is led by my eagerness to learn across a wide range of topics and gain new knowledge in subjects across multiple disciplines. Similar to my actual bookshelf, this list follows no particular order; it's simply a collection of my favourite books that I've gathered over time. I hope that by sharing this list of books, others may discover texts that are both valuable and interesting.
