Books reviewed on a 5-star scale (5 being the best):
#1 Killing Floor (Jack Reacher, Book 1) ** I couldn’t get into this at all. Was bored by the story and the writing wasn’t jiving with me. Couldn’t finish it.
#2 Get in the Game ****
#3 Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America ***** (one of the best books I’ve ever read)
#4 Caste ***** (another all-timer…the amount of highlighting I did in this book reminded me of college)
#5 Mastering the Rockefeller Habits **** (solid business book)
#6 Lies My Teacher Told Me **** (amazing but too much emphasis on what textbooks from the past got wrong…while kinda the point of the book, I was more interested in the history we got wrong, which was (sadly, predictably) eye-opening)
#7 So You Want to Talk About Race *****
