I enjoy reading and collecting books. and going to bookstores, and everything books.

So, naturally, I was super excited to see a picture of Neil Gaiman's library.

I've read a few of his books, which I find to be very odd and unusual, which I enjoy.

Here is a picture of his library:

12 books that everyone should read according to a Neuroscientist

Mikaela is one of my best friends from graduate school. I had taken classes with her at Lindsey Wilson College while we were both working on our Master of Education in counseling.

Mikaela is a great friend and a great resource.

She posts many interesting things on her facebook and her pinterest page.

Today, my friend introduced me to a link that includes 12 books that everyone should read according to neuroscientist Sam Harris.

I regret to say that I haven’t read any of the books that Mr. Harris had recommended, but I’ll do a quick amazon search to read the reviews at the least.

I do think that reading and learning is a key to success.
