I wouldn’t consider myself an avid reader, really more of a steady reader (as I read at least 2 pages every day as a rule: Mini Habits). Except for “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, there was not one book that Jake mentioned that I had even heard of, never mind having read them.
One book that I would recommend is “Infidel” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

ReplySo nice to see how genuine he is about books and reading.
ReplyOh love this video! Please let it be a series with every guest!!
ReplyMy favorite book… so hopeful and vivid in the face of the worst possible human oppression…. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. I read it in the early 90’s and it stayed with me. He creates, in few words such vivid mental pictures. It makes one feel the tiniest of victories and the hope they bring. Stunningly profound. Timeless. Highly recommended.
ReplyIn June of 1968 Robert Kennedy was murdered. I was 7. I cut out the newspaper clippings and put them a little grass green purse I had. I called it my bila bila…. who knows what the hell that was about? I grew up in West Central Illinois. Next to the garage, there was a gravel walkway, about 2 1/2 feet wide between the garage and a wire fence separating our house from the neighbor. In that space was a mulberry tree and raspberry bush. I would sit in that little pathway, eat the berries and read and re read the articles about Robery Kennedy. I was 7. I got the history bug early…. thank God for reading.
ReplyBest book ive read ” Fear and loathing in Las Vegas”
ReplyNo comic books.
ReplyI’m just glad to hear someone talk about books that doesn’t include a reading of Sam I am, and a rant about ‘cancel culture’.
ReplyI can honestly say that I have read Infinite Jest. I don’t think I could read it again. It contains multitudes. Bizarre multitudes.
ReplyInfinite Jest is infinitely entertaining and absurd.
ReplyAmazon adventures sold me on reading
ReplyJurassic Park is my favorite book. Read it so many times.
Reply1984 By George Orwell
ReplyI was also a HUGE fan of Baum as a kid. If I remember right, there were thirteen or fourteen by Baum, then another author took over when he died. One thing that always annoyed me about later authors was that they spelled “gnome” g-n-o-m-e. Is it the normal way? Sure, but Baum preferred to drop the silent g. I liked that bit of style on his part.
ReplySorority snaps for the Hornby drop! I recently picked up a young adult from him and devoured it in a night.

ReplyI ADORE this segment.
ReplyElie Wiesel Night is my favorite book and I was so shocked he mentioned it

ReplyDeadfall by Robert Liparulo. Excellent thriller. Americans set loose in the Canadian wilderness, a town takeover and a mysterious weapon of war. Great pacing, likeable characters and comfortable writing style. Sequel is good too.
