Much of what I have learned over the years, which will go into this blog, came from reading. Any time I reference something that came from a book or article and not my own thoughts will be cited, but this post will act to compile the many informative books I’ve read over the years, loosely grouped by overall topic. Every book on this list I have personally read, and it will be updated regularly as I come across more informative books. Is there a book you think should be added? Let me know and if I haven’t read it I’ll put it on the top of the stack.
