A "primary" read, one going on my phone (for those middle of the night/can't sleep reads, waiting somewhere, etc.), an audio book when driving around, and a fourth, usually an anthology of one kind or another, that I try and read an offering from every day.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070278104646895235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-86065026573053972782015-09-16T07:57:04.272-05:002015-09-16T07:57:04.272-05:00Erik, I think I'm a frustrated Linnaeaun.

I'm left-handed and don't classify like this at all. I find this interesting because I know a dude who classifies his "LinkedIn" connections like you classify books, with logical breakdowns. <br /><br />In any case, we can all agree that Reading Books = Good ~!!!!!Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-47942130925733770592015-09-15T09:25:24.727-05:002015-09-15T09:25:24.727-05:00Prashant, I came to Westlake late as well but have...Prashant, I came to Westlake late as well but have really been enjoying his work.<br /><br />Riot Kitty, my brain is generally empty you see, so I have room. :)<br /><br />Mark, I figure it can't hurt to keep the old noggin at work.
