My Book List

- Sorry if you're on mobile, I'm working to fix this page -

In no particular order.

I recommend you read all of these but maybe start with ones that have a theme you are interested in. Just because a book does is not an absolute read, life changing, or mind blowing, does not mean I do not highly recommend it. Steve Jobs and Greenlights are great examples of this.
