Over the past several years I’ve become interested in reading. My reading interests are diverse from autobiographies to classics, business to fiction, Dan Brown to Jack Welch. I don’t like everything I read, but I find I always learn something. I’m currently muddling my way through Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche and let me tell you I wouldn’t recommend it for anything other than a sleep aid. Everyone should read, and if you don’t make time for reading you are missing out. What are you reading right now? In addition to my current selection, the following are on my list:
A Man’s Life by Mark Jenkins
God’s Debris by Scott Adams
The House of Mondavi by Julia Flynn Siler
Freakanomics by Steven Levitt
To Cork or Not to Cork by George Taber
I’ll Drink to That by Rudoph Chelminski
The Brothers Karamazov by Feodor Dostoevsky
War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
Choosing Civility: The 25 Rules of Considerate Conduct by Dr. P.M. Forni
Training Plans for Multi-Sport Athletes by Gale Bernhardt
Wine & Philosophy by Fritz Allhoff
Born To Run by Christopher McDougall
Change the World by Robert E. Quinn
This I Believe II by Jay Allison
A great quote to finish:
Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.
-- Lenore Hershey
"Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver (it's our book club selection for April so you can get a copy from your lovely wife).
ReplyDeleteAlso, we read "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It is definitely the kind of book that sparks conversation. I"ve been after Chris to read it for ages. Very thought provoking.
