There are some books I have read out of a very deep interest in the topic in question – the type of books I pick up after having thoroughly read through the relevant Wikipedia page(s) and watched relevant YouTube videos and discovering that I still crave more somehow, even if the book is just going to feed me more information I already know. Sometimes the interest disappears after a while, sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, I want to track them all here!
