Staff Favorites

The books we love best reveal surprising things about who we are.  For example, Nena didn't think of herself as an optimist until she took stock of how many of her favorite books are science fiction--which begins with the assumption that we will still be here tomorrow.  Check out our favorite books, and find new favorites of your own, on our personal pages.
