My Bookshelf

Few things are better than a good book. For me, most “good” books are Sci-Fi, though this is not a hard rule. I tend to read sci-fi in the summer, because I like to read these stories outside in the sunshine, preferably on the beach or in a green park. Then I read non-fiction history books in the winter, because for reasons I can’t fully explain, I like to read these on dark and cold nights. Here is an abbreviated list of some of my favorites, in no particular order.

• I Am Legend - Richard Matheson


• Einstein's Dreams - Alan Lightman


• The Prestige - Christopher Priest


• Sea of Rust - C. Robert Cargill


• The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell


• And The Mountains Echoed - Khaled Hosseini


• Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage - Alred Lansing


• The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World - Andrea Wulf


• In the Garden of Beasts - Erik Larson


• Longitude - Dava Sobel


• King Leopold's Ghost - Adam Hochschild
