My Top 40 Book Recommendations

40 More book recommendations:

My wife was kidding me about how I always recommend books "written by men." She knows this is untrue but it got me thinking that I need to make a list of books I highly recommend written by women. Some of my favorite books are written by women and it was quite easy to assemble this list as there are many excellent and insightful books by women authors to recommend.
