Eric's Guide to Happiness, Tightrope Walking, Wall Street and Tina Fey
Eric's Guide to Happiness, Tightrope Walking, Wall Street and Tina FeyMeet Eric: Working for the library was the best decision I have ever made. I developed so many wonderful relationships with colleagues, customers and, of course, books. There is no other place I would want to be than here... well, perhaps maybe Disneyland. I like traveling, winter and watching Antiques Roadshow.

Meet his list:  There is no central theme to my list but in a way each title is interconnected with one another. Every material on my list describes the human experience whether it be for better or worse. It breathes life into what it means to be human through humor, chance, greed, influence, happiness, courage, dedication and brilliance.
