    Hello all.

    I just love to read, just love it. As such I decided to start a reading list for future books for me to read. I'd like to share that with you and ask that you add to my list by posting your own or books you would recommend to me. Thank you for your time.
    ---------------

      And you, Mr Lukins were horrified at the omission of Noddy Meets Big Ears!

          Sun Tzu and A Book of Five Rings were, to me, always the "read a chapter then contemplate" type of books.
