As I reflect on 2017 and remember transitions, milestones, and new experiences, it’s fun to see how some of this is reflected in my reading. Below is a list of books listed alphabetically that I purchased and read in 2017. (Does not include all my PhD books!) With each book, I’ve either read more than 75% of it or it contributed heavily to my thinking. And I have to say that my favorite book read this year was Democracy: Stories from the Long Road to Freedom by former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice!
