Best of 2009: Best Book #best09
2009 wasn’t a year for books for me – despite an extensive collection that, with my move to New York, I had to leave behind in Boulder. I read a bunch of books for work and, while they were great books that definitely taught me some stuff, I feel weird putting them in a category [...]
