Having started to read more books, and almost all of them being very good, I realized that what I really want is to find 100 to 150 excellent ones and dedicate most of my reading time to them. I call it the 6-star books list.

My 6 Star Book List

While I see a lot of people online treating reading as a competition, I decided to focus on finding the 100 to 150 that are truly exceptional. I call these my 6-star books. These books have changed how I think and have important enough ideas that I sense are worth revisiting time and time again.

I plan on writing a review on each one of them once I’ve read it for the second time. Any future additions or removals from this list will be done as updates to this page.
