"Don't ask me who's
influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he's digested, and
I've been reading all my life."
-Giorgos Seferis
Of course, I have literally thousands of books still to read.
Below is a small sample of the titles creeping their way up the
"to read" stacks. I would appreciate your suggestions.
I'll gladly add them to my list.
