Some Favorite Books

I have found much solace and comfort in reading especially in
the first few weeks and months when I seemed incapable
of doing much of anything.

I have compiled a list of some of the many
books I have read which have helped me.

As an avid reader and librarian I will continue
to add to this collection.

Many of these titles can be found at your local
public library, book store or may be ordered
on line .

I will loosely arrange by category but many overlap.
