I'm often asked how I find so many good books. I have learned a lot from spending time at book lists and reviews on the web and from book-loving friends. Once you have the titles and authors of good books in your head, it is easier to peruse the book tables at a used book sale and find treasures to take home.
This page is my attempt at sharing some of my favorite books with you.
