Books I’ve Read
This is a mostly-comprehensive list of books directly or indirectly related to spirituality that I’ve read over the last few years. It does not include books I read previously to a decade ago (most of which were fiction and literature) are no longer in my possession – some of these unfortunately escape my memory and left my book collection.. For the books I’ve read in part, I’ve made them in italics, the ones I’m currently reading now are listed in bold type. The categories I’ve made are somewhat arbitrary and in many cases it was difficult to put a book into only one category, but I have done so to avoid repetition.
