Bookshelf
If ever there was a roadmap through my phases and crazes, my bookshelf is it. I have not necessarily started – and certainly not finished – all the books on the list. There is no overarching theme to be gleaned, nor any order.

The Art of WarTo know the cliche, you must become the cliche
Going InfiniteOof, Michael.
Den of ThievesThese guys were so shameless that "Wall Street" seems like a thin veneer of the actual extent of the period.
On The BeachOne of the best commentaries on human nature I've ever read.
BlitzedWhat happens when you take a single lens on a world event and extrapolate it to its natural extreme. Fantastic read.

Great American Burger Book— or how I packed on the "Motz 20."

Ruffage: A Practical Guide to VegetablesBecause I am now an adult.
