The AG staff reading list
Flipping through the American Daily staff is just like flipping through a deck of cards; no one card, or person, is the same. Which is why I feel we’re so awesome: every writer bringssomething different to the table, something different to relate to.
If you don’t believe me, take a look at what our staff members are reading. From life-changing advice novels, to the emotional lives of animals, it wouldn’t be hard to start our own library. Here’s what you’ll find on our coffee tables, nightstands, and tablets:

Recommendations as diverse as our writers
Can you see how different we all are now? Some of us love to revisit history and read about how Queen Victoria drove her daughter’s crazy, while some of us want to be the next best businessman, and some like to just get away from it all with a good fiction.
But, no matter our differences, we do have one thing in common. And that’s our passion for using those same differences to deliver the most relevant and receptive content out there.
