Michael's Reading List

Over the last several years, I have been reading about a book per week, on average. I enjoy reading and discussing books, so I thought I would share the books I have read over the last several years.

I have only included books that I have read cover-to-cover since about 2013. I have not included books I read previously, books where I only read a chapter or two, or countless articles I've read or dissertations.
