Notes on Books, Articles, & Essays
Introduction
Whenever I read something new, I take notes and jot down ideas. But between physical notebooks and scattered Google Docs, things were getting a bit out of control. This is my attempt to bring it all together: here is a digital archive of all my notes to date. It’s a collection of summaries, quotes, and reminders to myself on the following publications.
