Strap yourselves in

I read a lot.

Over the past 7 years I’ve documented just every book I’ve read. This has given me certainty over three things:

  1. Not all books are created equal

  2. Not all books should be read

  3. The average quality of online book reviews is abysmal

Reading notes on Cover to Cover1 are my (latest) attempt to get under the hood of the books that have stuck with me, and why.

These publications will be part book review, part reflective retrospective, and part study notes for where I want to learn more.

Here we go.

It’s a terrific pun on my surname, I agree.
