She's currently on pace (94 books in 94 days) and has been inspired by some of the books she's ready recently. Here are some recent highlights.
- 'The Thank You Book' by Robin Friedman Spizman. 2/5 "Good ideas to say thanks, not a lot of substance"
- 'The Enoch Letters' by Neal A. Maxwell. 3/5. "Interesting way to think about the Old Testament"
- 'Throw Out Fifty Things' by Gaile Blanke. 5/5. "Down to earth"
- 'Paper, Rock, Scissors' by Len Fisher. 4/5. "Intro to game theory"
- 'Quirkology' by Richard Wiseman. 4/5. "Great for conversation starters"
She also loved a recent read, 'How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci' by Michael Gelb. "It's not the writing that has grabbed me," Rachel said. "But rather the ideas. It has ideas that I've read in my other favorites and it synthesizes them together. It may not be for everyone, but it definitely has been for me."
I've been wanting to read some of the books michael pollan has written:
ReplyDeleteOmnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
Food Rules: An Eater's Manual
The last one, I hear, is a quick read, and I hear they are all great. If you read one of them, I'd love to hear what you think!
