Favorite Books
Regardless of how hectic life becomes, I always find time to read. In addition to regularly reading The New Yorker, I read a lot of fiction. My taste is somewhat eclectic: my favorite authors include William Faulkner, John Gardner, and Neil Gaiman.
As I read books that I find particularly enjoyable or worthwhile, I will add them to this page. As time permits, I'll compile a list of old favorites at the end.
