Books I read in 2019

I don't write review of all the books I read, I do that only when I find the book interesting, something new I could learn from, or when it makes a great impression which is worth writing a review and sharing on this blog. But I do read lots of books anyway as I am a compulsive reader. Here is the list of the books I did read this year.

You can see that most were Business/Leadership books followed by spirituality and science research and sparingly fiction in between.

The one's by Robert Greene, I have read, re-read multiple times and found deeper meanings with each read. Books by Yuval Harari do command re-reading multiple times. Those books on the subject of micro-biology, genome has caught my interest and I might explore the subject further.

There were few other books that I did buy but could not read them completely as I lost interest in between and those did not make it to this list.

I plan to publish this list for the next year as well as it provides a good reference and I can track my changing interests too.
