What I've Read

I like to think I read a lot and it's always a mix of professional, self-improvement, knowledge expansion, productivity, and entertainment. This post will act as a permanent archive of the books I read, broken down by year (and sometimes month).

A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. -- Abraham Lincoln

The years will be linked to the original, or upcoming, article that provides a brief synopsis of each book and some personal thoughts that may go with it.

You can always catch up on my various bookshelves (Read, Reading, To Read) over at GoodReads.
