Reading List

I'm a fanatic of a reader.

I aim for a book a week, and a 50/50 mix of fiction and nonfiction, but I'm not too strict about it. I picked up the habit in college and over the years it has given me endless hours of entertainment, new ideas, and perspective.

I try to read widely — if you see a controversial book or author in my list, it doesn't mean I agree with them. Frequently, it's just the opposite.
