Me and my wife have an addiction for books, reading and learning. The one place where we lose all self-control isn't at restaurants—it's at the bookstore!
Books have played an unspeakable role in lifting up so many aspects of my life. These are the books that have had the greatest impact on me, dating back from high school years (~1999) until today (I try to keep this page updated).
