One of my guilty pleasures is reading.
I find myself constantly challenging my own perspective by seeking out new ideas, different approaches, and contrary opinions.

At least that is what I tell myself as I skim through vast quantities of blog posts, media articles, and academic journals on topics like economics, personal finance, science, technology, and history.
Many bloggers maintain a static blog roll of their favourite writers. The approach I prefer is to present a running log of well written or interesting content I have recently consumed and thought worth sharing.
Interested readers can join me on my quest for knowledge, learning from content I have recently enjoyed. It appears that many of you share this guilty pleasure, as this page of curated content has become the most popular part of { in·deed·a·bly }.
Enjoy!

Books
Personal finance only contains a half dozen or so key concepts.
This collection of books probably weren’t the first to express an idea, and may not be the best articulation of a concept, but each contributed a valuable lesson relevant to where I was on my own personal finance journey at the time that I read them.
