Can you believe Fall is here? It’s nearly the end of September and it was a great summer. Thought I’d share my reading list of the past three months. Most of the books are about history, business, spiritual development, or perhaps what I call summerish. Is that a word? But you know what I mean: books that make for good reading while sitting by a pool. Not that I did a lot of that, unfortunately.
Anyway, here is the list. Each is a link to my review or to the Amazon page where it is sold. If I didn’t do a review it’s because 1) I didn’t like the book, 2) I couldn’t think of anything to add to the conversation about the book, or 3) I didn’t have time to write one.
Oh, and don’t forget, if you click the link on the book and go to the Amazon page, I could get a small credit from your purchase. Which will then be given to PathLight. Thanks!
