Reading List

Filed under: — bsullivan @ 8:52 am

I’m not much of a reader but I really mean to be. I enjoy reading, I just don’t do it as much as I like. One thing is for sure, I get a lot of suggestions from folks about what books I ought to read. Since I’m also a forgetful person, I’d like to create a reading list here and solicit suggestions from friends and visitors. If you know of a book that I just must read, please post it. I will add them to the list as they come along.
