Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs
I chose to put this one down. Not because it is a bad book, but because I’m making the choice to keep my head in the sand. Sure, I enjoy the speculation of UFOs or UAPs. It’s fun to imagine. I even had an event in my youth where I saw a triangle light formation fly overhead while laying on a trampoline with several friends. I have watched and read numerous books and videos on the very subject. I don’t know what made this book different, but it hit home really close and has me wondering about our place in the universe and how I can possibly fit into all of it. It’s quite a bit to digest right now, so I’m going to skip over this one and perhaps return to it in some future date.
Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling
This book is for both the believer that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and for those wishing to know more. Bushman neither slanders nor elevates Joseph Smith’s life history. This isn’t my first time through this book and somehow I found myself asking questions about Joseph Smith this time around. Bushman allowed room for both spiritual experiences and Joseph as a man. If you are wanting to know a considerable amount about the life of Joseph this book will provide you with that and more.
Revenge of the Tipping Point
It’s been forever since I’ve read the original Tipping Point book and I don’t really remember much if anything. I’ve always enjoyed Malcolm Gladwell books because he has a great way of keeping you engaged in the subject matter. This book is no exception. Malcolm presented an update to his original book that kept me moving through the book with interest.
Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life
I was attracted to this book by the fact that Arnold Schwarzeneger is the author. This is a great book. His advice is helpful and good to take to heart. Of course a man who is Mr. Universe and who worked hard to get there would know a thing or two about working hard and achieving your goals. He was sincere and honest in his writing. I even laughed out loud on a couple of occasions.
Jump Start Your Creative Engine: With the 8 Creative Power Habits
I bought this book to support my friend who is the author. I wasn’t really a big fan of the book. It felt like a clinical approach to creativity.
After Steve
Being an Apple products user, I found this a very interesting insight into what is going on with the company. It’s sad when finance becomes the focus over innovation.
The Boys
I admire Ron Howards movies and it was interesting to hear his growing up story with his brother Clint.
Inside the Real Area 51: The Secret History of Wright Patterson
These testimonies before Congress about the existence of aliens have sparked an interest in UFOs again. Plus, I like to hear about the unknown no matter how far-fetched and unsubstantiated it make becomes. I’ve never heard anything about Wright-Patterson in relationship to aliens, so this was new.
1776
I am quite interested in the birth of our nation and I enjoy David McCullough’s writing, so this is a good book!
Every Tool's a Hammer
I liked watching Mythbuster while it was on, so this book had that draw for me, but the book stands on its own as a good book to read.
The Millionaire Next Door
Told me what my life would look like if I were a millionaire.
