As Carol Bly writes in the introduction to her book Changing the Bully Who Rules the World: "It is based on literature because narrative is the best carrier of psychologically complex truths." [1] And as David Whyte writes in Crossing the Unknown Sea: "For real conversation we need a real language.

Keats or Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson or Mary Oliver often say more in one line about the invisible structures that make up the average workday than a whole shelf of contemporary business books." [2]
I'm adding a new book collection, Literature, which will augment the business collection. Actually, the literature collection will hopefully at some point become the core collection, and deservedly so.

I created a library tagged with "Business" imported from my corresponding library in Alexandria. A few duplicates to be eliminated due to multiple ISBNs getting selected for one book (possible software bug).
Besides online compilation of my business book collection, numbering in the hundreds, this will allow searching and citation using citekeys, like this [1].
