7 books I read during June: A thread
(With brief synopses and ratings)
My goal is to read 5 books every month. This month I exceeded that goal, partly due to reading some shorter books, and also a need to get my mind off the state of the world for a while...
The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan.
A deep dive into where our food comes from and how we can make healthy/ethical choices about food. Super interesting and definitely has changed the way I eat.

Three years into my PhD program, I think I've finally figured out a paper reading system that works well for me.
There are 4 main steps in my workflow: finding papers, storing papers, reading papers, and annotating papers.
