Book Notes:
Some people (Nat Eliason and Ali Abdaal) on the internet have inspired me to share my book notes. There are so many good books I want to read that it would take many lifetimes to read them all. Perhaps you feel the same. So, I want to share summaries on books I’ve read for people interested in learning a bit about a good book or who simply don’t have time to read the whole thing.
Book notes are intended to reduce a book to it’s most fundamental level, and different people will take different types of notes.
I’ve tried to leave impressions, reviews, and quotations that resonated with me for fiction. When it comes to non-fiction, I try to include more detailed key takeaways and insights.
For a more complete list of everything I read, check out my Amazon page!
Frank Herbert
Review of the first installment in Frank Herbert’s epic science fiction saga that takes place on the desert planet of Dune.
Mary Oliver
A beautiful collection of calming and down-to-earth poems. Themes include nature and life, and are reflective or introspective in theme.
Anna Lembke
An insightful and eye-opening read, discussing topics such as over-consumption, the pain/pleasure balance, and strategies to break addiction.
Austin Kleon
Fantastic book about why we should share our creative process online. This book was what inspired me to start sharing my work online and to start this website.
