I'm currently reading... Wabi Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers by Leonard Koren
My favorite childhood book
was.... Corduroy by Don Freeman
I'm eager to read... Interaction of Color by Josef Albers
The book that I'll never part with is... My mom's childhood Bible.
A book that changed my
life... The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
My favorite book to give as a gift... Something funny like any one of David Sedaris' books.
A fictional character I admire... Jane Eyre.
On my coffee table I have... vintage design books, Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life, and Roman and Williams: Things We Made
I organize my bookshelves according to... what I'm reading and referencing. I love a haphazard looking bookshelf that comes across as well-loved.
My favorite bookshop is... pretty much any small used bookshop. The dustier the better.
I love to read because... there's a book for everything -- to learn, laugh, be inspired, or be challenged!
Felt super nostalgic seeing Corduroy up there! Definitely one of my favorites too :)
