I love books. I love to read even though I don’t get to do it as often as I would like. Over the years, I have read some books that I believe go down in history as my all-time favorite books. They’re all entertaining, but the pattern I see, for most of my favorites, at least, is that they all carry a deeper meaning, deep lessons that have changed & impacted the way I see the world around me. If you’ve read them that’s awesome! I’d love to hear your thoughts & what you took away from them. If you haven’t read them…go find a library or book store & pick one up.
