This note inspired this section. I wrote it in Churchill’s Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which is a great example that creative inspiration can be found anywhere – and I need to better at writing them down!
More than just what I’ve read
I tend to recommend a lot of books, and quote them often. This section is where I’ll devote time to the books that have meant something to me and why. There won’t be many fictional works here, for those you’ll want to out my Goodreads profile…
Sometimes the books below will be cliché, but most times they won’t be. Hopefully this page sparks some unexpected connections for you, like a great read should.
Also, you’ll notice this page doesn’t include any referral links. I’m recommending books I love because I want to share the love. If you see something I’m missing, or disagree with any recommendations, I’d love to chat about it!
