WBAA-AM is getting another upgrade! Starting August 11, tower maintenance may cause occasional signal disruptions for a few weeks. You can still hear WBAA News on 105.9 FM, at wbaa.org, or on the WBAA app. Thanks for your patience during this essential work.

Book Review: My Ideal Bookshelf

The books we choose to keep and display—let alone read—can say a lot about who we are and how we see ourselves.

In My Ideal Bookshelf, 100 leading cultural figures, including writers, artists, designers, critics, filmmakers, chefs, and architects, reveal the books that matter to them most.

These books reflect their personalities, dreams and ambitions, and in some cases helped them find their way in the world.

Nick Schenkel, retired Director of the West Lafayette Public Library, is a long time WBAA contributor who reviews books from all walks of literature.
