My ‘Bookstack’

I’ve been tagged by Stephen…

Unfortunately, my “BookStack” is pretty short right now. Between preparing presentations, freelance work, and major life events, my free time doesn’t come cheap.

Top to bottom: The Kite Runner, Beyond Bullet Points, The Elements of Typographic Style, and Digital Photography Book.

I usually have a few books in queue. Sometimes I’ll tear through a book all at once, but often I’ll read a few chapters, put it down, then pick up another and start, and then circle back around. For example, I read the Bringhurst book cover to cover over the course of a week. Now I’m reading again more closely. In contrast, I’ve been picking at Kite Runner since I went to Seattle a few months ago.

My wife Kristi pokes at me for reading “manuals” instead of “stories.” As you can see, she’s on to something!
