As anyone could’ve guessed by perusing through my essays, I read quite a bit. It wasn’t always this way, but, if you’re looking for a way through the clutter, here’s a look at both books I’ve read and would recommend. Or, am simply interested in. By all means, if you have a book and would like me to read it, feel free to send it my way.
