Colophon

Books Read

This list is based on my Skoob backup and contains 67 books. I read most of them in Portuguese, so the first list gives English readers the works’ official English titles, while the second records the Portuguese editions in my reading history. When I could not confirm an official English-language edition, I kept the Portuguese title rather than inventing one.

Books That Became Posts

The Burnout Society — Byung-Chul Han: the main book behind Why Are We Always Tired: Han’s Diagnosis.
Antifragile — Nassim Nicholas Taleb: became my notes in How to Benefit from Chaos: Notes on Taleb’s ‘Antifragile’.
Twilight of the Idols — Friedrich Nietzsche and Notes from Underground — Fyodor Dostoevsky: appear in A Parallel Between Nietzsche and Dostoevsky.
Why We Sleep — Matthew Walker: a complementary book cited in Why Are We Always Tired: Han’s Diagnosis.
