Growing up, I was heavily influenced by the liberal arts traditions of the Jesuits, which meant two things, playing sports and reading, reading, reading... especially the Classics. The reading drill was to always have multiple books on the go at once... a Classic, a History/Philosophy and an English novel.
Today, I still read multiple books simultaneously, usually a business book, a novel and a history and/or philosophy book. My all-time favourite books are political economics. I have had a grand time recently reading what seems to be a contemporary revival of publications in this field.
Because I read so much, I can tell you that only about 10% offer some truly great insights. The following is a list of books that I found worth the time and effort.
Please use the links on the right to enjoy my selection of books by category.
In addition to reading books, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of new magazines. A few of my regular reads include…
