As part of the litany of professional-related activities taking place outside of work hours, I wanted to share a few of the major texts that are currently on my shelves. While all of these are worthy of retaining, I’ve highlighted a few that I’ve recently found myself referring to especially often. All of these are available from various online stores. If this list isn’t enough to keep you occupied, there’s more to be found at the SIRA reading list.
