Updated: 3mo ago

This list features books I consider worth reading. Rating criteria: - Three tiers: decent reads, good reads, and masterpieces. - Each tier has finer “-” and “+” levels. A “+” rating in the good-read tier is roughly equal to a “-” rating in the masterpiece tier. - To earn masterpiece status, a book must reach an exceptional level in at least one area. When rating a book, I prioritize its strengths, and only then consider its shortcomings.
