My year of discovery taught me the value of curiosity.  Letting myself wander subject to subject, book to book, was an enjoyable and beneficial process.  Reading others’ work inspired me and ignited my own desire to contribute.  Below is a collection of my favorite books, which I will continue to update.  I don’t receive anything for these recommendations – I just want to help us all learn from each other.  I look forward to hearing your suggestions for additions.
