I LOVE BOOKS
No, not just like, I mean, I really, really love them.

I read about 150 books a year.

I have a Goodreads account, where you’re welcome to see the breadth of my taste (guilty pleasures and all), as well as my ratings, but here I recommend some for work, some for pleasure. They’re loosely categorised according to my own whims and fancies, browse as if you were in a slightly eccentric bookstore.

If you do decide to buy any of them using the links I provide (all the links will take you to Amazon where you can buy them) then you’re helping to support the site, as a very small percentage of each purchase sold through the links will go to me (at no cost to you). I only recommend books that I think are engaging, useful and interesting, and I really hope they give you as much pleasure as they give me.
