You can ask the mods to move it to the correct folder :)
Finished first book of the year; 51 to go!Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Highly recommended. Great story with some psychology, sociology, political science, and philosophy thrown in.
I hope you go beyond your 52 book resolution! Best of Luck!
2. Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel WilkersonImportant topic; somewhat uneven execution. Still worth a read.
8. Athelstan: The Making of England by Tom HollandGreat little history of the first king of all England.
11. They Called Us Enemy by George TakeiPersonal narrative of WWII Japanese internment camps in the US
13. A Month of Sundays by John UpdikeI liked the Rabbit series; did not care for this one. Too pretentious.
15. Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe by Steven H. StrogatzCalculus for the layman. Awesome!
16. The Gulf: The Making of An American Sea by Jack Emerson DavisGreat, broad history of the Gulf of Mexico.
18. The Sins of the Fathers by Lawrence BlockExcellent crime/mystery. Will continue series at some point.
25. How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need by Bill GatesClimate change.
27. The Invention of Surgery: A History of Modern Medicine: From the Renaissance to the Implant Revolution by David SchneiderHistory of Medicine
Look at you go do you have a standout favorite yet?
Hi, thanks!For fiction, Ender's Game is my favorite so far this year.
How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need for nonfiction.
28. A Promised Land by Barack ObamaOver a month between books. Got to get the reading mojo back.
President Obama's autobiography was outstanding!
I've agreed to buddy read this in June but I can't remember who with (should that be 'with whom?' ) If it is you, please remind me!!!
Hi, DorothyIt was scheduled for April I'm afraid. I started late and there was not really any discussion unfortunately.
It is a very good book and I hope you continue.
If you can't find a buddy in this group, I know the Nonfiction Book Club group is doing a buddy read through the end of June.
Good reading!
33. Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets by Nassim Nicholas TalebHigh signal/noise ratio
