As an avid reader, this space is a curated summary of my literary journey over the recent years. I have mostly excluded thrillers from this collection due to their less-than-aesthetic covers. The essence of this endeavor is to showcase my reading history while exploring the integration of Airtable as a database for a static Eleventy site and experimenting with 3D transforms.

Of the books I read in 2021, I found this to be the best. A cynical look at the current sports frenzy, a plea for messier living and a warning against too much enthusiasm.
The motion of body through space
Lionel shriver
Serenata Terpsichore has just turned sixty, has run and swum many miles in her life and expects to find support from her recently retired husband Remington. But the latter inadvertently rubs salt in the wound by taking up endurance sports himself, for the first time in his sedentary life. First he runs a marathon and then he has his sights set on an extreme triathlon.
Messy
Tim Harford
Tim Harford makes a compelling case for the creative benefits of disorganization, improvisation and messiness. The message: you'll be more successful if you stop struggling so hard to plan or control your success.
Pleidooi tegen enthousiasme
Coen Simon
Coen Simon warns of the consequences of this enthusiasm, which can so easily go without facts. For while enthusiasm goes viral, the truth lies in the middle - somewhere between gluten-free nonsense and fact-free bullshit.
