Recommended Reads, 40th in a Quarterly Series

 

Stuff I'd recommend from the past three months:

Take It Back (Abdullah).  A gripping crime novel from start to finish.

Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush (Meacham).  What a juxtaposition to read about this utterly decent man during the last days of the Trump presidency.

Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (Wilkerson).  An amazing exploration of how deeply embedded racial prejudices are baked into our society.

This Is Where You Belong: Finding Home Wherever You Are (Warnick).  Fun, insightful, and nicely researched account of how to connect with the new community you are moving to.

The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York (Caro).  The almost month-long commitment I made to get through this tome was so worth it.

The Creativity Leap: Unleash Curiosity, Improvisation, and Intuition at Work (Nixon).  I'm biased because I adore Natalie, but even so her book has been incredible work book club fodder.
