As part of my 101 in 1001, my goal is to read the books below [plus some]. This list is ever-evolving, meaning I will be adding to it books that I read as part of my ‘read one book per month’ goal.
Some of are classics that I never read because I didn’t take Senior English in high school, some are books I don’t want to read but I should and others will hopefully aid me down my path of professional and personal development. If you have any books to suggest, please feel free to do so!
