Books & Media

This page collects books, films, anime, and other things I still want to remember after reading, watching, or listening. Some are just short notes. Some may grow into full book reports.

Full book reports

When a book changes how I think, or when its ideas are worth revisiting, I write a longer book report.

Books

• The Psychology of Money — Morgan Housel
  A good book for thinking about money, risk, long-term behavior, and ordinary investors.

• Die with Zero — Bill Perkins
  A reminder that money is not just a number to maximize. It should be considered together with time, experience, family, and life stages.

Films

• Interstellar — Christopher Nolan
  A story about time, choice, and love. I often think about how it expresses the cost of time.

• The Truman Show — Peter Weir
  A film about waking up, questioning a given script, and walking out of it.

• Inception — Christopher Nolan
  I like how it makes a complex premise understandable, and how it talks about reality and obsession.

Anime

• Steins;Gate — Nitroplus
  Timelines, choices, and costs. It is a story worth revisiting.

• Attack on Titan — Hajime Isayama
  Its power is not only in the worldbuilding, but in how it handles freedom, hatred, history, and perspective.

• Violet Evergarden — Kana Akatsuki
  Beautifully made, and a gentle story about learning to understand emotions.
