Reading List

A few years ago, my reading list became almost completely non-fiction. Although it is a sign of being old and boring, the non-fiction reading list has helped fulfill my eagerness to learn more. Sadly, I find books much faster than I can read them, so below is my current list books that interest me and I plan to read (all link Amazon associate links). They are in not in any particular order. If you have suggestions that you would like to make or would be willing to read a particular book with me (I always enjoy having another person with whom to discuss a book), feel free to contact me nate@nateschneider.com.
