“Books open your mind, broaden your mind, and strengthen you as nothing else can” -William Feather
“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.” -Henry David Thoreau
“Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly” -Proverbs 16:22
“The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” -Proverbs 18:15
I’ve always had a hunger for knowledge and I’ve never really compiled a booklist. I just would read and move on to the next book but this year I wanted to start compiling the books that I have read. Not to show off how much I read but to keep an inventory of what I’ve learned from each book and maybe pass along some knowledge if someone else ever needed it. So these are the books I’ve read this year and the books that are on deck. Please, post a comment or question about any of these and let’s get the conversation going!
