I wanted to be a reader since I was a kid, but the only books I managed to read through were the imaginative Harry Potter series. I was so bad at reading that—up until chapter seven of "Veinte mil lenguas* de viaje submarino"—I couldn't understand why Jules Verne had not started covering the multitude of languages spoken under water. So I put it back on the shelf, and only months later did I realize my embarrasing mistake in reading the book's title...

Audiobooks changed my life.

Well into my twenties, I was lucky to discover that I'm a listener, not a reader. I had been using Youtube without ads and consuming hours of content every day for years—mostly historical documentaries, interviews and podcasts—but somehow I didn't realize at the time that what caught my attention was the audio, not the video. Only when I gave Audible a second try in 2016 did this become obvious, and I started binge-listening everything I had been wanting to read.

Here's a list of what I've read/listened to ever since, what I'm currently reading and what I'd like to read next.
