Book Recommendations
This is an overarching list of all the books, mostly finance related, that I've read and would recommend to folks looking for a good read. Many of them have influenced my thinking of personal finance, philosophy, and life. Long term, I will be re-reading them and providing a short book review and thoughts on each one. I have provided the links to purchase each of them on Amazon.
