FICTION & BIOGRAPHICAL BOOKS…

On my nightstand I keep two or three books to not only read myself to sleep, but to fill those minutes when sleep will not come. I often take notes on books I read. If you’re interested in my thoughts, check My Chapbook.

I”m currently reading:

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
