Reading List

This is every book I can remember having ever read. Included with some are the years in which I remember reading them. A thumbs up means I recommend it, and a thumbs down means I recommend skipping it.

You can do a neat trick with such a list. You can copy and paste its contents into an LLM and ask it to make recommendations based off the books you've already read.
