Reading List

Abi Tyas Tunggal's reading list, separated out by year.

This page is dedicated to the books I've read. If you think there is something I should explore, please suggest in the comments.

I used to read one book every few months or so until I found audiobooks and realised I could speed them to 3x (like I do with podcasts) and still get good comprehension (probably better than I do when I read from a book). Since then, I've been "reading" while riding the train to work, at the gym, and pretty much any time I can stick my AirPods in my ears. 

It's probably the single most valuable thing I can tell you. It sounds like an ad, but you should consider downloading Audible and start listening to books at 3x while commuting, walking, relaxing, or any time when you can't be sitting down and reading.

Below is a list of the books I've read thus far, in order. If you'd like me to dive deeper into any of these books, please let me know in the comments.
