Books I've Read and Recommend

(I do not recommend books which I have not yet read. Likewise, I do not consider all of the books that I have read to be worthy of recommending. Therefore, this list represents what I consider to be the *best* of what I have read. I hope you enjoy these books as much as I did. Happy reading!)
