This is not,
by any means, an exhaustive “recommended reading” list. That list, the “must
read” list, is different, far longer, and not necessarily inclusive of all
the titles listed here. I'm working on it and perhaps–someday–it will be so
well organized as to be able to be shared as well. The following is simply a
collection of some of my absolute favorites across varying ages and genres.
Enjoy!
