I like reading and have maintained a list since few years. It is to be noted that I don't own all of these books and the list is aggregation of books that I want to read, have read or use as a reference. It is mostly unsorted as of now, as sorting is mind-numbingly tedious endeavor which for me is a massive undertake. Hopefully, will get it done somewhere near future.
