The 1000 Book Challenge - kiranmoyb.com

I started a new experiment in September 2024. I will read 1,000 non-fiction books and document all the lessons I learn from these books on this blog. Reading 1,000 books will take a long time. If I read 50 books a year, it will take me 20 years to complete this experiment. Even if I read 100 books a year, it will take me 10 years. So this is a long-term project. I will read books on a variety of topics, and I want to see how I change as a person after completing all 1,000 books.

Below, I have provided links to all the books I have read. When you click on a link, it will lead you to the post where I documented my learnings from that particular book. The books are arranged in the order they were read. I had already read some of the books mentioned below, but for the sake of this experiment, I have re-read them. All the books mentioned here were read in September 2024 or later.

If my learnings inspire you, I recommend picking up the book and reading it in its entirety, as a short summary can never substitute for the experience of reading the complete book.
