My books

TODO: very scratchy, need to be rewritten and chaos fixed. TODO: sync with other notes, DRY (move books in related sections)

This section contains mostly a fiction books I’d like to read and want to read. This list isn’t contained all my fiction books, so I just start tracking my reading progress “recently”.

A lot of books are in the notes on a specific topic (learning paths), they are marked with 📕 emoji, they can be found in index note.

Usually I read books on the kindle-paperwhite reader.

If the title of the author and book in Cyrillic, this means I read it in Russian language. To understand custom bullet list types check my notation note.
