The stack of books on my desk continues to grow with this project, and I’d like to share a few that I’m re-reading/yet to read/currently reading.

This quote from Travels in Hyperreality by Umberto Eco, reassuring my inner critic that “just starting” is better than doing nothing.

"Sometimes you have to follow the opposite course: Distrust agreement and find in dissent the confirmation of your own intuitions. There is no rule; there is only the risk of contradiction. But sometimes you have to speak because you feel the moral obligation to say something, not because you have the 'scientific' certainty that you are saying it in an unassailable way."
