It was a month ago when I was driving up to Gainesville to visit Margaret's father who was in the VA Hospital. Kevin Keelan called me and asked if I had any book recommendations for him since he was getting ready to go on a long road trip. I gave him two (I can't remember what titles I recommended) and he really enjoyed one and said I should blog about books that I have written. "I'm not Oprah and who would care what I like?" I said to him. "Think about it." I did, and finally, I'm taking the time to write a few thoughts.
My goal is to read (or listen) to 52 books this year. I did 40 last year and 35 the year before that. So I've come across some really good ones and some that I didn't think were so great. So if you are looking for some reading material, I'll post some thoughts on the books that I am reading.
I just finished reading my fourth book from Andy Andrews. All ("The Travelers Gift" "Mastering the Seven Decisions" "The Noticer" and "The Lost Choice") are based on his life story, having lost both parents when he was 19. Through a series of decisions he found himself living under a pier. Considering the meaning of life, it is just a roll of the dice to see who gets what, he began to read biographies, a hobby that changed his life. He discovered some universal principles that have guided his life. Each book takes a new look at these principles in creative ways. He is a much sought after speaker and his books have been on the NY Times best seller list. I give all of them my READ THIS category. But remember, I'm not Oprah.
