reading list.
I really enjoy NPR's book recommendations to find new things to read when I don't have anything in mind. They do a pretty good job of selecting a variety of topics written by a diverse bunch of authors. I also try to hold onto recommendations from friends in case I can't think of anything to read.
Books with links can be read online for free! Others can probably be found on anna's archive or at your local library.
