# Books Target Q3 2025
Target: 6 books in the quarter (2/month).

Q3 2025 should be favorable for reading, with summer travel planned and the Laputa development entering a more sustainable cadence. The reading list includes a mix of engineering culture books (for newsletter content), design books (for Laputa), and one or two fiction titles to broaden perspective. The book club with [[person-sara-ricci]] and [[person-matteo-cellini]] continues.

## Progress

- Quarter is in progress. July reading list includes "Empowered" by Marty Cagan and "Building a Second Brain" by Tiago Forte.
- Two international trips are planned, which historically correlate with higher reading output.
- The book club has selected "The Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton Christensen as the group read for August.
- On track for 6 books based on current pace.

## Notes

- "Building a Second Brain" is particularly relevant as research for Laputa's feature set. The personal knowledge management space is heating up and understanding competing philosophies is important.
- Considering adding audiobooks to the tracking. Several "books" in previous quarters were actually consumed as audiobooks during runs, and this format enables more reading volume without additional sitting time.
