I just got: “Stars Upstream. Life Along an Ozark River” by Leonard Hall,from 1958. Great reading.
Surprised he can read.
Moving Mountains- John Eldredge
The Case For Nuclear Weapons In The 21st Century by Brad Roberts.
Last summer, I read Peter the Great: The Man and His World. It was fantastic.
Just finished “Everyday Millionaires” and several Peter Drucker books.
Currently reading:
Jonathan Haidt’s “The Righteous Mind”
Thomas Sowell’s “Conquests and Cultures”
OMG. I wish I had been drinking something so I could have spit it out, cartoon-style. GOOD ONE.
I recommend Dr. Jordan Peterson’s “12 Rules for Life”. Finished it not too long ago.
Was disappointed by “Everyday Millionaires” by Scott Hogan. It felt like a mash up of his “Retire Inspired” and Dave Ramsey’s FPU books with a smattering of statistics. It really fell short of the updated study of millionaires.
Rereading “Angela’s Ashes”, Frank McCourt
“A Life of Impact”. By Deborah Shisler. (My daughter) written about her dad and the impact as a dad, teacher, coach, role model and also a look at Heavenly Father relationship viewed thru the lens of her earthly father...
