Book Recommendations

"I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson


Here are some of my favorite books broken into unusual categories. I hope that they will help you learn something new, apply learnings to your life, or perhaps just make your day more interesting.

Today You Should Know is an affiliate for Bookshop.org, an online marketplace that supports local, independent bookstores. That means if you click on a book linked in the newsletter or on this site, we’ll receive a small commission on any books purchased in the following 48 hours.

All affiliate proceeds are donated to Room to Read, a leading nonprofit for children’s literacy and girls’ education across Asia and Africa. It’s a win-win-win: you get to read a book, small bookstores get some business, and money is donated to a great cause.
