On his favorite reads:

Currently, it is My Nine Lives by Leon Fleisher. I’m always interested in reading about musicians. Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered by E.F. Schumacher is another. This book was named by the Times Literary Supplement as one of the “100 Most Influential Books Since World War II.” The Warden (and other novels by Anthony Trollope) is a book I return to often, as well as the nonfiction books and essays written by C.S. Lewis.
