Book Recommendations


Below is a list of book recommendations. Note that the genres vary widely where some books are very political. Just because I list them here does not mean I unanimously endorse the ideas in these books - on the contrary. However I believe the only way forward in this world is to try to understand each other and this can only be done by listening to each others positions, even if we ultimately do not agree with each other.
