Books

On this page, I want to share some books that I read in the past. I may add links, more context and whatnot. For now, it's just a plain list of titles, which is also incomplete.

In case you want to recommend something to me, please do so via the contact options.

Fiction

I am mostly into Sci-fi, but also appreciate some fantasy and other fiction books.

Fiction Books are mostly for relaxation and chill. But, I do like this little weirdness in the story. Also, most of the books I read are baring some kind of criticism about our world right now.

Philosophy & Psychology

Philosophy and spiritual books keep me interested for ages now.

Occasionally, I put my toes into philosophy, too. I am not becoming a philosopher by any means, but it is interesting to see how things were already done thousands of years ago and still apply today. Further, philosophy really carries some kind of wisdom in it, which teases me a lot.
