It’s easy for me to lose focus and avoid reading the books I think I should read in favor of the ones that capture my attention, energy spontaneously.

I spent quite a few hours organizing the books I have amassed over the past few years. I considered their: page length, seriousness, potential re-readability, action-ability, and expected effect on my energy (alliterations are lit). After a few hours of fun introspection, oscillating between Amazon and Google Sheets (!?), I settled on this, generally, rank-ordered list.

Fun fact: If I read 40 pages/day, it would take 78 days and 3 hours to read all 13 of these.
