Favorite Book: Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Through the ups and downs of my life, reading and books have always been a stabilizing force. From the classics to dystopian novels to short story collections to non-fiction memoirs and literary journalism, books have been a means of escapism and relaxation. As I turn the pages of a great book I can journey into another world, walk in another person’s shoes, visit cultures and societies unlike my own, and so much more!
