Earlier this week (or was it last week?), I added a books page to my blog, and I asked you for your recommendations, too. A couple of you commented on the post, others emailed me (because WordPress seriously makes people jump through stupid hoops to comment, if they have a WP username or gravatar, but can’t recall their password), a couple others shared on Facebook.
Being a good blogger & adding an image to my post, even if it’s only loosely related.
I thought it’d be nice to share the love and compile the list here. (It also gave me one more day where I didn’t have to come up with a blog post idea – score!)
(I’m biased, but the best part of this post is where you get to see the books that my dad reads … scroll to see …)
books you recommend
other books on my radar
Your recommendations reminded me of a few others I’ve been wanting to read but haven’t gotten around to yet …
what my dad is reading
I don’t think this list is complete without some gems from my dad. I’m not being sarcastic. I’m really fascinated by the books that my dad chooses to read. It’s a great glimpse into his personality. (It’s a dark, but delicious list.) I’m not going to link them up because their titles are pretty self-explanatory.
