I’ll read almost anything from any genre if the story or topic sounds interesting.
Mostly enjoy fantasy, history of all kinds, science, science fiction, self-improvement (time management, note-taking, etc.), technology and especially love books about the history of books, printing, languages, and the anthropology behind them.
I often write scripts that run on Macs and like to include interesting quotes from what I read as Easter eggs.
“I’m not so sure he’s mad, Father. Just a little devious in his sanity.”
