books read by matte elsbernd | Psychology + Culture

In high school I started keeping track of all the books I finished. Once you start, you sort of feel funny not continuing the list. Now I feel bad I didn't start the list sooner. So, here it is, no longer a list on binder paper, but rather in a database and all that fancy jazz. Perhaps it'll be of some interest to you - getting a sense for my interests. But regardless, it's sort of a legacy thing for me.

the 167 books read by matte elsbernd (since 1988) that I've classified as Psychology + Culture.
