My book lists
Syntopical reading is the technique of reading multiple bodies of work in relation to each other in order to gain diverse perspectives on a topic.
These are personal reading lists I compiled to help me study topics I have an interest in. The lists are are not meant to be authoritative or complete; the only criterion for inclusion is my enjoyment.
