So many books, so little time

I love reading … seeing the world through an author’s eyes … learning new ways to engage with ideas and challenges.

The wall behind my desk is covered in books, arranged by the color of their spines. It’s pretty and delightful, but not always practical. So here I’ve taken a moment to highlight the books I come back to over and over. My hope is you will find them as rich and helpful as I have!
