Non-tech Reading List
Away from research and the practical messiness of work, I spend time in another kind of architecture: stories, philosophy, films, and the shelves that keep a person curious.
Why it is here
A quieter trail beside the technical work.
I read philosophy to sit with difficult questions more slowly, and I follow books and series for the way they build worlds, reveal character, and let ideas unfold over time.
I am especially drawn to women's stories in books and to historical fiction in film: narratives that recover interior lives, social tensions, inherited silences, and the choices people make inside the constraints of their time.
This page is a small reading room for that part of me: books, essays, films, and story worlds that intrigue me.
