Reading List

I'm looking for some book recommendations to help me meet my goal of writing 12 book reviews this year. I prefer nonfiction, but a good thought-provoking fiction book is nice, too. (No fluffy beach novels. If I want fluffy literature, I'll get it in movie format.)

I've already reviewed The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo.

I'm in the middle of reading The Startup of You by Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha, and once I finish it, I plan to review it here.


I'm halfway through Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, so it might get a review, too.

I read some of Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard a few years back, and I really need to pick it up and finish it.

Books I plan to read and review:
  • The God Who Weeps by Terryl and Fiona Givens - I heard an interview with Fiona Givens last year, and I was so impressed with her that I knew I had to read her book.
  • Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg - This book seems to be a must-read for any woman with a professional career, and I really should have read it a long time ago.

So far, the list is heavy on business and social science with a dash of theology thrown in for good measure. What's missing are the books about physical science and psychology. Any recommendations?
