I used to maintain on our website a list of books we were reading, but haven’t updated it for several months. Decided I would be more apt to keep a current chronology on this blog, so here goes. Most recent readings are at the top – they are nearly all non-fiction because that’s what I read though occasionally I need a bit of what Bill calls “mind suicide” and delve into a narrow niche of fiction. And then of course there’s poetry…. but that’s for another day.
Items on the list below include links to Amazon details.
