New Books Added: Twitter’s Origin Story, and How to Identify Your Unique Ability
In 2024, I challenged myself to accelerate my learning by reading a book (usually a biography) a week. To date, I’ve done it for 77 consecutive weeks. I wanted to share what I was reading and also keep track for myself, which was difficult (see here), so I created a Library section on this site. I added to it all the books I’ve read since my book-a-week habit began in March 2024, and I’ve committed to adding my latest read to the Library every Sunday (see the latest here).
That left the books I’d read before 2024 unshared and untracked. I set a goal to add my old reading to the Library over time. It began with a Memorial Day Challenge to add five books (see here) and continued with my challenging myself to add two books every weekend until my backlog is gone. This past weekend was my thirteenth weekend, and I added two more books:
- Unique Ability by Catherine Nomura, Julia Waller, and Shannon Waller
- Hatching Twitter by Nick Bilton
That’s the latest update on my weekend goal. I hope that sharing these books will be of value.
