What I'm Reading Today is a weekly publication about the books that shape the people building companies — and, by extension, the companies themselves.
The format is simple. Each week, we feature one entrepreneur, founder, or operator, and the one book they've most come back to. Not the books they say they're reading. The books they've actually read — the ones marked up, dog-eared, replaced when the pages fell out.
It's a small idea with a specific premise: that people are more legible through their libraries than through their résumés, and that a single book, taken seriously over years, does more than shelves of books read once and forgotten.
We interview each featured entrepreneur, sit with them through the book, and write up the conversation. A new piece publishes each week. That's the whole product.
The target reader is someone who's stopped believing there's a silver-bullet business book out there. Someone who's read enough of them to know that the useful ones don't come with a reading ladder — they come with a practice.
We're less interested in the new and more interested in the durable. Less "twelve books every founder must read in 2026" and more: here's a person, here's the one book they've held onto, here's why.
If you're a subscriber, you'll notice the same book occasionally appears twice — recommended by two different entrepreneurs, for completely different reasons. That's not a bug. That's the whole point.
Each Monday, we reach out to an entrepreneur — sometimes on a recommendation, sometimes from a shelf we've admired.
We meet midweek. The only question that matters: which book has stayed with you the longest, and why is it still with you now?
Thursday, we write. Friday, we edit. Saturday, we fact-check and confirm quotes with the featured entrepreneur.
Each week, the piece goes live on the site and into every subscriber's inbox. Nothing else arrives in between.
Every issue stays. The Archive grows week by week into a slowly widening portrait of what people who build things actually read.
Monday, we start again. A different entrepreneur. A different book. The same question.
We are less interested in the books that promise to change your life, and more interested in the ones that quietly have.— The Editors

For press, partnerships, or the occasional piece of reader mail we pin to the wall: the same address. We read all of it.
The site has no comments section by design. If something here moved you, we'd rather hear it in an email we can write back to.
