Readings and Associated Notes

This page is a list of collected notes from various books I have read over the years. They are comprised of notes, written in my own words, and associated quotes from the text.

The notes were written as I read the respective text, and are meant to capture those ideas and passages from the text that I perceived as important. They are not meant to be exhaustive, but rather to summarize and condense those important ideas.

The page numbers correspond to the particular edition of the text I was reading, which I have tried my best to document. Depending on which format, e-book reader, or physical edition I was using at the time, there may be discrepancies in the page numbering for a given edition, so the numbering should not be seen as absolute.
