Recommended Books

I love books. I live by the quote from Erasmus: “When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.” There is very little that I enjoy more than a book and someone to discuss it with.

Because of my love for books and reading, I am often asked by people for book recommendations. Over time there are a handful of books that I find myself suggesting frequently. These are a few of my favorites, and I would like to pass them on to you in no particular order. If you are interested in a book about a specific topic, I’m happy to make suggestions. Just let me know. You can also peruse out the books in my library and find out what I’m reading right now.
