I read.  A LOT.  Several books a month.  Fiction, non-fiction.  I just like a good story.

Here are the books that I recommend by category.  I have read all of them and also provided reviews on amazon as to what I thought.   If you aren’t sure about a book, I’d be happy to help.

I am hoping to keep this list up to date, so if there is a book that you feel should be added, tell me via comments.  Did I list a book you like (or even don’t like)?  Leave a comment and let me know.
