I’d like to focus on articles and chapters of books rather than whole books or websites for the reader. Ideally, each piece of reading material will serve a discrete purpose, rather than just provide background information or a broad picture. There are already pages for IP Minimalism and FLO community for whole books and websites related to these issues.
