This page displays a list of the books I've read and really enjoyed... and think, in turn, that you'll enjoy as well.
I have subdivided the list for ease of following. If you have any books you'd recommend to me, please let me know- who
knows, they might end up on this page. Be warned- this is only the tip of the iceburg. More books will be added periodically.
