Here is an update on my current and recent reading list as of April 2015.

FYI – As a recap, I enjoy both reading books and listening to audiobooks while driving to and from my workplace. The following are the most recent books I have either read or have listened to the audio version. I enjoy a mix of non-fiction and fiction, a good story, exposés, and biographies of influential people. A well written book respite from our daily routine of work and other family obligations. Reading (as well as listening), can be a really joyful experience and expands my horizon, as well as making me think, imagine and question what I believe:
