2020 Book List

I had a goal of finishing 2 books a week, 104 for the year. We finished 116. Here’s the list.

The Importance of Saving Face… I mean Grace… no Face

I witnessed something amazing today, and I’ll do my best to describe what happened in hopes that you find it equally amazing. The lengths that we humans go to in order to save face are incredible and fascinating.

Mom – the survivor

No one tells my mom what to do or what to think. No one.

How to read 2 (or more) books a week

I posted recently about my goal to finish 2 books per week throughout 2020. We haven’t completed the year yet, but I’m just ahead of schedule.

A kind reader commented asking how I go about finishing 2 books per week and I thought I’d share my strategy.

Books that will change your life

Looking for the next book to read?
I got you covered.

(Not good) Evolution since 1776

I just finished reading Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. This is the catalyst that inspired Lin Manuel Miranda to create the Broadway hit, Hamilton.

This book is absolutely fascinating.

What’s most important

They told me to work tirelessly, and forego all the play.

But then others told me that I must “seize the day.”

“Family can wait, more money should come first.”
Still others told me, “no, you’ve got those two reversed.”

Embrace the Sounds of Silence

Have you ever tried to sit still, in complete silence?

It is impossible!

My house creaks, the kids scream, the construction crews across the street are noisy, and I get it, your vehicles need to beep when you’re going in reverse… but are you ONLY driving your machinery in reverse? #stopthebeep

Being a referee sucks… and that’s life sometimes

Life is a game… and sure, you’re kind of player in the game… but you’re also kind of the referee… so this gets super confusing, but being a referee sucks… because half the people in the gym (your life) are convinced you’re making the wrong calls.

The Jesus I Never Knew

This is by far the most frequently recommended book I’ve ever read, meaning, I have probably bought a couple dozen copies of this book and given them to friends and family.
