Reading Books So You Don’t Have To!
Enjoyed several fun books in the first quarter of 2014, so I wanted to list them here. It’s a fairly short list for me — just 25 books. Quality over quantity, perhaps?
My favorites (and recommended) would be It Happened in Wisconsin (a novel), Everest 1953 (history), The Myth of America’s Decline (current events), Their Eyes Were Watching God (classic novel), and The Bully Pulpit (history).
Below are my reviews or links to the Amazon page for each book.
