Library


(in association with Amazon.com)

Why a Library?
Ideas matter. The books below are full of good ones. The authors have informed my worldview and provided hours of reading pleasure.

Feel free to explore the ideas in these volumes, and come back to the Library often. I plan to update it regularly.

I have divided the Library into two sections: What I'm Reading (books I'm reading now that I think you will be interested in) and Best of the Bookshelf (books that have perennial value in the realm of ideas).

If you decide to buy any books, please click through this site to Amazon.com. You'll get a discount on most books (along with the satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting www.stanguthrie.com). Thanks!

I welcome your suggestions for the Library. Please contact me at Stan [at] StanGuthrie.com.

Enjoy!
