the last day of february…

“Personality Brokers” – book about how bad the Myers-Briggs test is – so I loved the book b/c I hate personality tests:)

“Rise of the Ultra Runners” – just an amazing read – i’m impressed with those that go beyond a marathon – not sure how they do it

“The Legendary Harry Caray” – read with love for my grandfather – it’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Caray passed away – I enjoyed the book

“Parkland” – this was a much better book – a much more hopeful book – than I thought it would be – very recommendable

“Barnum” – b/c I loved the Greatest Showman – wonderful read – interesting – a biography of his life

“Get Thee Back to the Future” – absolutely LOVED this book – same series of Shakespeare’s Star Wars – very clever – enjoyable – want to add it to my classroom

j

i can’t believe i finished the first book in a week

“Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom” – great book – great long book – Douglass lived a full life – he lived into the 1890s – I don’t think I realized that – one of the sad aspects of the book – and of history – was for him – and the country – to live through the promise of freedom from the Civil War – and then watch things helplessly slide back – very recommendable book

“The Big Chair” – book by Dodgers GM – former-GM – Ned Colletti – enjoyed it

“G’Morning, G’Night” – Lin-Manuel Miranda – collection of his tweets – short – good

“A Good American Family” – great book on the red scare in the US – from the personal history of the writer – who’s a famous historian – enjoyed the book
