It’s that time of year when most people publish their „books I have read“ articles. Tim for example, and also Jeremy. I for myself am what you could call a book taster. There are a lot of books on my shelves that I started reading but somehow never finished. But this year this is going to change. Maybe.

So here’s my list of books I want to finish in 2017. By pure chance, a lot of them have the word “design” in their title. ;)
