My house is a veritable library of books, from my favorite literary works (I love Nathaniel Hawthorne) to an insane collection of children’s books to books on writing, social studies, parenting, bioethics, you name it, to – of course – an overflowing accumulation of photography books. I’m asked often for my favorites, and while “favorite” seems to change from week to week (and I’m constantly seeking(…)
