Books
This is a list of the books I've read since high school.
This is auto generated from a csv file. A python script looks up the wikipedia page for the book and author and converts it to json. Then the json is read to render this page.
Note: The script does it's best, but some books don't have articles or have ambiguous names so the links don't always go where they should. 🤷♂️
