Reading List

Howdy all,

I read between 30-50 books a year. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of my reading, but rather the books I enjoyed or think that are “important”. Series (especially long ones) will be given their own page. This is NOT an endorsement of any book that is listed or the ideas in any one book. If you are interested in my thoughts on any given book odds are the important ones will be talked about on the podcast. Also, you can email me.

I may eventually add reviews / discussion essays in the future but for now this is more than enough effort.
