This is a post from LCDR Christopher Nelson, a Navy Intelligence Officer that is an avid reader and also blogs over at Between the Boards.

There are thousands of reading lists out there. While I'm not sure that I agree with author Umberto Ecco’s belief that we "like lists because we don't want to die," I do think reading lists are essential for any serious reader. They’re also fun. Seriously.

What's on your reading list?

What are you reading?  Need a recommendation?  Need motivation?

"The problem with being too busy to read is that you learn by experience (or by your men’s experience), i.e. the hard way.
