Alex & Books is a reading newsletter: recommendations, summaries and strategies for building the habit.

The distinguishing emphasis is application. The argument is that reading more matters far less than doing something with what you read.

Good if your to-read pile is growing faster than your finished one.

Readers, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners who want to make reading a habit and get more value from books.

Get weekly book recommendations, reading strategies, and summaries that save time while delivering key insights from top books.
