What is an “autobibliography”?
You’re a reader so you probably know what a bibliography is, a list of books used to write an essay or a non-fiction book. So what is an autobibliography? It’s what I call list of books that have influenced a persons life, changed them, or made them who they are today. And that’s what this page is!
Here is where you’ll find all the books I’ve read in the past, from the latest to the distant past. Each book listed links back to a post I wrote about the book itself or a quote from it. Hopefully, you’ll find a book you’re interested in reading yourself. If you do, please leave me a comment so I know you’re out there. Maybe we can have a virtual book discussion and learn from each other as well!
As you probably already have noticed, I’m in love with books of all kinds. Currently, I read an average of about two hours a day, mostly in the early morning before my day carries me away, sometimes in the middle of the night if I can’t sleep. I read just about anything, but my favorites are non-fiction history and philosophy, and classic fiction. I do throw in some modern novels from time to time and I can’t pass up Stephen King.
