Books

A partial list of the books I've read over the last few years.

2017



2016 and later




I try to have at least 2 books going at a time. One I can listen to via Audible and another hard copy I can read at night before bed.

This doesn't always happen, but I'm doing my best when I'm filling my mind with a good book while driving or working out.

All books are Amazon affiliate links.

To create this page, I redrew a simplified version of the book covers in Illustrator. Then I got a starting point for the book flip code from here.

Chrome seems to render pretty nicely, but there's a small amount of wonkiness with the transitions in Firefox and Safari so if you know of a way to optimize it, I'm all ears. Enjoy!
