Reading List

About Cindy

Reading lists are a way of getting to know what interests other people. I love reading, and go through spells of devouring books. I read a variety of books. Some of my favorite books are the biographical novels written by Irving Stone.  I also tend to read a lot of historical novels in French set in the Middle East.  But I’ve only listed the business books here below.

I can spend hours in a book store and find other people’s reading lists a source of inspiration. I hope this list inspires you too.
