Make this yours. Duplicate the page into your own Notion workspace, then use the tracker below to mark each book as To read, Reading or Read.

This is not a second version of the article. The article explains why each book matters; this page is the practical companion for deciding what to pick up next and keeping track of your progress.
The tracker contains the exact ten books featured in the Website post, with the same titles and authors. Nothing has been added, removed or substituted.

A completed reading list is not the goal. A stronger research practice is.
