I receive so many titles and authors to check out. Of course, we can only read a tiny fraction of the suggestions I receive, but I thought I'd put them out there on a site, in case people were interested. They are listed in alphabetical order by title, just to suggest no favorites. I try to update this every poll. I also have a substack with suggested titles and my reflections about reading them.
