WP2: The Things I’ve Read and How I Feel About Them

I’ve linked all my entries for my annotated bibliography in this article. While this is by no means the extent of what I’ve read, this is an ever-growing collection of the things I’ve read that have changed my perspective on life or influenced the way I see the world. I will continue to add to this as I see fit.
