I read a lot (when I have time). On Monday and Tuesday, I consumed Scott Westerfeld’s The Risen Empire and The Killing of Worlds. Yesterday, I started K. J. Parker’s Devices and Desires. Tomorrow… well, I keep this lengthy list of books I want to read. I also keep a list of books I’ve already read (it comes in handy when people ask me for recommendations, or, as was the case nearly four years ago, when a college application asks me to provide a list of all the books I’ve read in the past year). Add these lists together: The result is a page full of great books.

Next time you’re perusing the shelves, stumped on which pages to turn next, look at a few of my favorites. Maybe you’ll be inspired! I’ll update the list periodically, so be sure to check back!
