Reading List

Currently Reading:
Giovanni’s Room

James Baldwin

In the past 3 years I have ready many books, and through these different resources, I have picked up titles from various authors reading lists and recommendations from friends. This list is forever growing!

I try my best to buy these books to reduce the list, but this is what I currently have planned to buy and read. Let me know if you have any of these books in the comments and tell me what you think!

This is not in order of preference. Only in order of when I came across them.
