Books to Live By

I love reading. I love bookstores so much that I still get misty eyed when I visit Vroman’s. All of these beautiful ideas sitting on pages waiting to be discovered. If you sit with me for coffee or lunch, I will invariably recommend at least three books over the course of our conversation. (The following list links off to Amazon, but if you are able to visit a local bookstore then buy them that way. Indiebound.org is a good place to find these books locally.)
