A probably incomplete list of all the books I have read.

#Books #Reading

This is a collection of all the books that I have read and remembered. It is a genre mix. Much Fantasy and Sci-fi, but also non-fiction – mostly tech and “self-help”. Also contains a few manga and comics. Some titles are in German, as I did read them in German.

I have forgotten most of what I read here. Probably.

Fun fact: Playing The Witcher 2 got me into reading. I didn’t like it as a kid.

Reading list #

See what I’m currently reading on my /now page!

2026-02-19: I’ve decided to split the list into fiction and non-fiction sections. Mostly to have an easier time choosing what to read next.

Finished books #

Don’t judge me too harshly for the selection of books over the years.

Most of this data is an export from a now deleted Goodreads account (everything pre 2024). I tried to sort it by finished date. If I “read” many books on the first of a given month, I most likely added just the month on Goodreads.

Some dates might be off, missing or just plain wrong. If I did read a book more than once, most likely the first date will be listed.

I used Blinkist a lot for from mid 2023 to late 2024. I tried to note all cases where I “read” a book through Blinkist. The Blinkist services was enjoyable until the whole AI-craze began. I think they replaced most – or all – of their readers with AI voices and used AI for the summaries. I can’t prove it, but the quality felt worse and so I stopped using it completely in late 2024.

2025-12-20: I’ve decided to split the list into sections by year.
