My Reading List: 2017
I like to read, and folks frequently ask me what I'm reading. So, here are the books that were on my iPad this year (I only read two real-paper books in 2017).
Please note: the fact that I read it only means it sparked and sustained my interest. I'm not endorsing any particular ideas or arguments.
I'm currently reading Scalia Speaks, a collection of speeches and writings by the late, great Supreme Court Justice, and Forged in Crisis: The Power of Courageous Leadership in Turbulent Times, by Nancy Koehn.
During 2017, in no particular order:
Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness, by Robert Greenleaf
Make Your Bed, by William H. McRaven
Dreamland, by Sam Quinones
The Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire, by Edward Luttwak
Great by Choice, by Jim Collins
Devil's Bargain, by Joshua Green
The Courage to Teach: Exploring the inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life, by Parker J. Palmer
What Got You Here Won't Get You There, by Marshall Goldsmith
Soul Keeping, by John Ortberg
The Fourth Way, Hugh Hewitt
The Honest Truth about Dishonesty, by Daniel Aierly
And, I love a good thriller/mystery, so books by: Brad Thor, Michael Connelly, Ben Coes, John Sandford, Lee Child, Daniel Silva, CJ Box, Robert Crais, Vince Flynn... Just mind candy when I'm tired of being serious and my telecaster isn't handy (which happens frequently)

7 年I'd recommend "Hillbilly Elegy" by J.D. Vance. A quick read and an insightful personal memoir about into what it takes to rise up from a culture destroyed by welfare-enabled poverty and addiction. Vance is a Yale Law School grad originally from Middletown, OH who plans to move back to Ohio to start a nonprofit organization to fight the opioid crisis.
