There's a line in the movie when Billy Chapel meets Jane. Her car has broken down on the highway as she was trying to get out of town. He asks her why she's getting out of town and she responds, "Because summer's over and I missed it."
I have had several summers in the past that I could describe with that quote. Not so this summer. It has been an easy and relaxing summer. We took several mini-vacations and even the pace at the university was less intense than summers past.
So, there has been an expanded opportunity to read. Here's the book list for the summer (Boldfaced titles are highly recommended!):
Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls, Noel Tichy & Warren Bennis
Miles From Nowhere, Nami Mun
David: A Man of Passion and Destiny, Chuck Swindoll
Think Again: Why Good Leaders Make Bad Decisions and How to Keep it From Happening to You, Sydney Finkelstein, Jo Whitehead, & Andrew Campbell
Rescuing Ambition, David Harvey
Beach House, Jane Green
Raising Cole: A Father’s Story, Marc Pittman
Heart of the Matter, Emily Giffin
Losing the Promised Land: Elisha and the Kings of Judah, John MacArthur
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson
What is God Really Like? Craig Groeschel, Editor
Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters, Timothy Keller
The Girl Who Played With Fire, Stieg Larsson
Practicing Greatness: 7 Disciplines of Extraordinary Spiritual Leaders, Reggie McNeal
Leaders Who Last, Dave Kraft
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, Stieg Larsson
Yep. I read the Stieg Larsson trilogy. Perhaps the best thriller/spy novel books I have read in a long time.
