Bookshelf

I love reading on an ereader. I love being able to easily capture highlights and notes digitally but most important, I love having hundreds of books in my pocket.

I do miss having a bookshelf. I miss looking over the books I've read and I miss friends asking me about books I've read.

So, this is me dabbling with a digital bookshelf here. I've written a python script which converts the csv formatted highlights from my ereader into markdown so I can easily include them here. I'm thinking that anytime I mention a book I've read to someone, I'll aim to list it here and send them the link. Over time, that should populate my bookshelf based on how interesting those books were for me.
