Books Read

I discovered the joy of reading as a little kid. My library card was one of my most prized possessions and it allowed me to escape to worlds created by Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, Stephen King, and so many others.

During my career in Corporate America, time was so pressed that I read primarily for work—contracts, nonfiction books, manuals, etc. Now I have the time again for pleasure and read about 100 books a year in a wide variety of genres. I highlight some of the most memorable below.

I also mention the best books in my monthly newsletter. Please feel free to subscribe (don't worry—you can unsubscribe at any time) and I'll even send you a copy of a free ebook novella, Alone Together, for giving it a try.

Finally, I am always looking for recommendations. If you know of a book or author I should try, use the form below and drop me a message.
