What I’m Reading
I keep a regular list of the books I’m reading, which influence my work a great deal. Below is the list for 2012; here, if you care to read it, is the list for 2011. 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 write about: that’s all.
