Random books from this year I've read, but then I'll read about anything, even when I don't agree, or think the author is stupid. Always learn something. I've got a bunch of management books read too, but you guys know those, so here are some different. I liked these, no particular order....
A Walk In The Woods. Most Boy Scouts have more wood knowledge than this guy, but he and his buddy, a recovering alcoholic , hike of the AP interesting. And the one revelation of trials of an addict, and its constant battle is almost worth the read.
Man and Horse. Amazing story of ride across the country in early 70s. Especially how freedom of movement across the land was simpler and not as controlled as it is now.
Boys in a Boat. If you think you had it rough growing up, better read first few chapters of this. Not many could compete but if you can, it shows no matter the conditions, if you choose, you can overcome.
Desert Solitaire. Again, of experiences in the 60s managing Arches NP. If you ever spent time in the red canyons of Utah, you will relate. Good read as to how open the land was before everything became controlled.
Run Baby Run. As another book book above, if you think you had it hard or that there is no hope for an extremely evil people, then read.
Its Only a Game. Bradshaw is an idiot and hilarious same time. Much of what he says applies so much tho to change in the NFL game.
