"The impact on your life will be largely from the people you meet and books you read" -Rick Warren from Thinking. Loving. Doing.
I consider myself a humble man, there is not a lot I like to boast about, however I do take pride in the books I have read. Reading can be such a transformational act. Though it may only take a week to read a particular book, its words will stay with me forever. My mind can wrestle with certain ideas and concepts for eternity.
Though I remain loyal to a certain style of books, I do appreciate different genres, authors, and ideas that challenge my thinking.
