Hey friends -

I’m building a bookshelf app—it’s basically a simpler version of Good Reads. A place where you can share and discover new books from people you trust. I draw inspiration from Stripe founder Patrick Collison’s bookshelf.

I love discovering books from people I follow and I’ve been wanting an easier, nicely-designed way to do that.

I need your help: If you have any advice, feedback, and/or thoughts on the idea, please let me know in the comments or respond to this email.

Here’s what I’m reading in September 2023

Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life by William Finnegan

Raised in California and Hawaii, Finnegan started surfing as a child. He has chased waves all over the world, wandering for years through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa. A bookish boy, and then an excessively adventurous young man, he went on to become a distinguished writer and war reporter. Barbarian Days takes us deep into unfamiliar worlds, some of them right under our noses—off the coasts of New York and San Francisco. It immerses the reader in the edgy camaraderie of close male friendships forged in challenging waves.
