Judging all books by their covers

Like most of us, I never liked reading books for my school or college's curriculum. Interestingly, my dad's a writer & keen reader.
I grew up around books and have always been reading them on topics that interest me. I started reading self-help books on productivity,
design, business, marketing, work-life balance, etc. when I went to college. This page is an attempt to log my book collection.
