Reading Notes

Notes and underlines from my reading. (A digital garden.) Categorized into sefarim (Torah books in Hebrew), books (of all kinds, mostly English), and articles (academic). Fully baked thoughts can be found on the blog and elsewhere. Titles are shown most recent first, by year, beginning 5781 (2020-21). My complete reference library is viewable/searchable here on Zotero. You can see a running tally of the intellectually formative books that I’ve read, without notes, on Goodreads. My home library is being tallied on LibraryThing. I also post recommended general-interest articles via Pocket.
