Books: Palace Walk and the Cairo trilogy (Naguib Mahfouz is an amazing writer). Giacometti by James Lord, The Alchemist by Paula Coelho, Night Studio a Memoir of Philip Guston by Musa Mayer Much ado about nothing (haha) Shakespeare and so many others that have slipped my mind...

What I can teach you, that is something you might have to decide. But I can share plenty! Positive spirit, smiles and laughs, knowledge of painting and photography, curiosity of the world, interest in everyday adventures... and the list goes on and on!
