What I’m Reading
I keep a regular list of the things I’m reading. They influence my work, and my thinking, immeasurably. Below is the list for 2013; here, if you care to read them, are the lists for 2011 and 2012. As always, this list isn’t meant to be either prescriptive or suggestive; I’m just trying to illustrate what I think and care about. Any connections that anyone might like to draw between this list of reading material and the plays I’ve written is free to do so.
