- Mark Twain
Last year I wrote a synopsis of a list of books I was deciding to read next.
Here are some new options:
Colonel Roosevelt
- The last in the biographical trilogy
of Theodore Roosevelt. I have read and enjoyed Theodore Rex
and am looking forward to reading the new installment also.River of Darkness - Buddy Levy
- The story of conquistadors traveling the length of the Amazon River.Buddy Levy's previous work Conquistador
looks like another good exploration adventure book.Everyone Loves You When You're Dead: Journeys into Fame and Madness
- Neil Strauss - Author of my previously recommended book Emergency
, put together snippets from his early interviews with the music elite, including Oasis, Snoop Dogg and Lady GaGa, and shares never-before-published insights into what make these stars tick as opposed to some of the more risque activities in his previous books about rockers. I have already started reading this one and it actually is hard to put down. Manvotionals
- By the writers of one of my favorite blogs - The Art of Manliness. Their second offering, first one here
, features more of the great writing found on their blog and delves into (subtitle) "Timeless Wisdom and Advice on Living the 7 Manly Virtues". See the cover art here and pre-order here, you won't be disappointed.American Assassin: A Thriller
by Vince Flynn - The new Mitch Rapp spy novel. Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West
- Cormac McCarthy - Author of better known novels; The Road
, and No Country for Old Men, some have said this is his best work.Giants: The Parallel Lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln
- Learn some history. Without it, you will never know if people are telling twisted versions to benefit themselves. How to ride on city streets - The Art of Cycling
And finally, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
- everyone should read one of these better-yourself books every year at least.--
