Atkins Bookshelf explores the world of ideas — through books, literature, words, quotations, movies, and music — for the intellectually curious. The goal of Atkins Bookshelf is to educate, entertain, and inspire. The blog, in turn, is inspired by two aphorisms: “the unexamined life is not worth living” and “be inspired, to inspire.” At the heart of Atkins Bookshelf is a lifelong passion for learning and books. Much of the inspiration and research comes from a personal library of more than 10,000 books (and counting), meticulously collected over several decades, driven by an insatiable curiosity and fascination with the world. Atkins Bookshelf is a labor of love and is supported by your donations (see below).
NOW AVAILABLE: If you love the blog, you will love the book — Serendipitous Discoveries from the Bookshelf. More than 100 essays in 400+ pages, including eloquent quotes about literature, reading, and books; inspiring parables and life life lessons; and filled with witty and insightful observations.
