[Image: © Photo taken by author of a double rainbow at the Grand Canyon. Intended for mood and backdrop only.]A wise individual once wrote that if you provide a man a fish you feed him for the day, but if you teach him to fish you feed him for life. My favorite hobby and pastime is reading. Books open the entire world to me, the entire universe. Books do not provide all the answers to the world’s challenges, they provide only one individual’s perspective. Yet, accumulate enough of those perspectives and slowly but surely a sincere reader begins to see how the world works and operates. A life of liberty requires being able to see the world as other people do.

Below are books from my bookshelf. I provide this list as a minor testimony that I try to write from a broad perspective. This list does not contain titles to all the books I have read, but only those resting on my personal bookshelf.

Having these books on my shelf does not necessarily imply I endorse the book or author.

I have provided some reviews or commentaries. Be forewarned that a review might spoil the outcome before you have had an opportunity to read a book.

This is a partial list. There are several dozen books on my bookshelf that I haven’t yet read but intend to. If you are curious what is lying around…
