-you have to copy and paste the links. sorry.
-some links use "https://12ft.io/url" to bypass paywalls. you can do this too: place https://12ft.io/ before most urls
-at some point i'm sure i'll sort them somehow. right now they're vaguely in chronological order of my reading

maybe i'll eventually log books and my reviews here
