Reading Goals and Book Recommendations Part 2
My reading goal for 2017 was accomplished. I read 125 books. Just barely.
Click here for the first half of 2017, when I read the first 93.
As you may notice, there are a lot less recommendations this time, just because I didn’t read as many great books after August.
Here are three:
Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment by Robert Wright: this book inspired me to start a meditation practice.
Dune (Dune Chronicles, #1) by Frank Herbert: a formidable classic that probably everyone who writes science fiction should read.
Everyone’s a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too by Jomny Sun: a balm for these trying times.
Because this list is so short, here is an amazing bonus book I read this year.
Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions by Johann Hari: about so much more than just depression and anxiety.
And finally, the worst book I read in 2017:
Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein: “hate” is not too strong a word.
