Any books you think I should add to my pile? Leave a comment or e-mail me with any suggestions. :-)

note: i read a lot of books with tons of viewpoints and opinions and themes. just because i have read/am reading/want to read them does not mean that i necessarily agree with what they say or promote. i try to be somewhat discerning in what i choose to read, however i also like to be somewhat open-minded (quite the confusing contradiction i am :-). anyway, i just wanted to put it out there. i welcome any questions on my reading and if you're looking for a review from me on a book i've read, please ask away. i'm happy to share my thoughts. :-)
