“Behind every stack of books is a flood of knowledge.
“Books are the only thing you can buy that make you richer”
Reading is one of my favourite past-times. Personally I prefer non-fiction sci/tech/living books and apparently from the waterstone labeling of my book area I read smart thinking books. Here is a list of the 35 books I read in 2017.
Here are my top picks …
