Favorite and Recently Read Book Lists

Something participants and clients frequently ask for following one of my retreats, work sessions and keynote addresses is for a list of my favorite books or recently read books.  I believe it is a touch of class when a speaker can quote others, especially authors when speaking to an audience on any topic.  Something I especially enjoy is the research side when I am preparing my presentations which requires a lot of reading.  My personal library is full of wonderful books on a variety of topics related to fly fishing, greenhouses, stained glass, leadership, governance, history, education, and personal and professional growth just to name a few.
