    Welcome To A Dead Man's Books. This podcast was created as a way to help preserve memories of reading books so that one day my kids will be able to read my books with me. It's also a way to go back and talk about many of the books my friends and I have loved together. It's also a place that hopefully other fellow book lovers will come and share their thoughts on the books we read and give recommendations.
