My Bookshelf

My education is mostly experiential and self-study. The books on this list are books I more literally consumed, than merely read.

Sure, I've got more books on my shelf. They are dust-collectors that don't make this list. The books listed below are creased, dirty, highlighted and worn. I could sit and tell you what I love about each of these books. They are all wholeheartedly recommend.
