The grapes of wrath by John Steinbeck. Powerful and moving. Good stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This weekend I read "Who moved my cheese?" at the recommendation of Mr. Todd Graf. It was a fun, inspiring, little book. Todd was referencing the concepts in the book as they relate to our deer hunting success (or lack thereof). However, I found it much more applicable to our business outlook for the future. Evolve or die, as they say. Now I'm on to "The Science of Storytelling: Why Stories Make Us Human and How to Tell Them" by Will Storr.
The count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Still working on the “must read” classics. This one was great and so enjoyable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
For some reason, I can't get through Will Storr's books. This is the second time I've tried, and they start off great, but then he loses me. They're just too wordy. So many words with so little substance. Get to the point, man! I abandoned Will and went back to my old friend Jocko, a man who doesn't mince words and gets straight to the point. So, I am currently reading Leadership Strategy and Tactics. This is much more my style and speed. J When I'm not reading that, I am now fully engrossed in Pierce Brown's Red Rising books. I finished the second book, Golden Son, last night before I went to sleep and will likely start the third one sometime this week. Not sure how I missed these books for the last decade, but they are right up my alley.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Intro was interesting regarding how the book came to be. Otherwise it was OK. Short so the investment was minimal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sun Tzu the art of war, penguin classics. ROI was low. I didn’t care for this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Just finished How then shall we live: the rise and decline of western Thought and Culture by Francis Schaeffer. A really good dive into how Christianity and the Roman Empire influenced the development culture and government in Europe and then America. He is spot on in the similarities of the decline in morality in America paralleling the decline and fall the Roman Empire. Originally published in the early 1980s, it still felt quite relevant to today. His cultural references were a little dated to the under 40 crowd, but still quite good.
