Non-Education Reading Recommendations
The following links to Amazon will take you
to Kindle books and authors that I have read and recommend.
I am an avid reader, averaging about 40-50 books per year. The
books and authors I recommend brought me some pleasure, enlightened
me, or provided me with a sense of wonder. It is a mixed bag, to be
sure. There are included such categories as political and social
opinion, adventure, thrillers, science fiction, history, and mystery.
Read about them and perhaps you'll find a book or two that strikes
your fancy.
These recommendations are in no way meant to ignore the greats such
as Tolstoy, Hemmingway, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald, Harper Lee, or even Capote, but
rather to focus on lesser known, but in my opinion, good writers and
good stories,
