Relationships: A Mess Worth Making by Timothy S. Lane
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
My wife Kristen and I went through this book with a group of friends and it was good look at Biblical relationships. Although a bit overly verbose in spots, I really appreciated the bible based and thoughtful approach the writers took. A worthwhile read.
Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN by James Andrew Miller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The oral history of ESPN is impressively interesting, but yet sort of empty. Somehow 600+ pages don?t really feel like enough. The titillating details that leaked out online before its release proved the most interesting tidbits. Overall, a worthwhile read if you spend daily time with the World Wide Leader.
The Extra 2%: How Wall Street Strategies Took a Major League Baseball Team from Worst to First by Jonah Keri
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book positions itself as a nephew or cousin of Michael Lewis? classic Moneyball. The strategies of Wall Street business have been making their way into professional sports for a decade now, and this look into the making of the Tampa Bay Rays gives some interesting organizational insight. It felt like the content was stretched to make the book longer however, and unless you are a prolific reader, there isn?t enough here to warrant your attention.
Abraham Lincoln: A Presidential Life by James M. McPherson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am contemplating diving into the the overwhelming sea of Lincoln and Civil War books. I saw a review on Amazon that said this short biography was the perfect introduction to the basics of the life of Lincoln. I was not disappointed. Brief but full of interesting details, this book gives a nice portrait of our 16th President.
Bossypants by Tina Fey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An engaging look at women in the workplace, this semi-autobiographical story of Fey?s rise to comedic heights. I enjoyed the whimsical look at the real issues facing women in the workplace today
