BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
As you might expect, I read things on financial topics, but I also try to read as much as possible on other topics and even some fiction when I need a break from reality. When I come across a book that profoundly touches me in a deep and meaningful way, I want to share that with others. So, this page is dedicated to the few books I have read over time that do just that.
If you ever feel the need to escape into a good story or learn more about life, history, or some other matter, consider the books below.
