    I finished How Minds Change by David McRaney. It's a great book about finding common ground with people and exposing them to their own cognitive dissonance to change their minds. I'm now reading Outlive by Pete Attia.

    A Man of Iron by Troy Senik. It's a book about the presidency of Grover Cleveland. I've been reading it since February so I'm going pretty slowly. Only 120 pages to go. It's interesting seeing how different the two major U.S. political parties were on economic issues in the last 19th century...

    I finished up Anime Impact by Chris Stuckmann. He's the main author but not the only one who writes about his experiences with over 100 of the most influential anime ever. We go from 1963's Astro Boy to 2018's Violet Evergarden. There were some titles I wasn't aware of like, Galaxy Express...

    I finished reading Jordan Peterson's Beyond Order the other day. It's the companion book to 12 Rules for Life so you should read that book first. I found the rules in this second book to be deeper like finding humility in your suffering and trying to create something positive for others even...

    I've finally made my way through Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics. It corrected some of the misconceptions I had about the likes of protectionism, while protectionist policies may benefit certain industries at certain times, they hurt the economy as a whole, and also gave some more examples for...

    I made my way through Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life. Most of the rules are pretty obvious, but I enjoy the examples he gives and makes you think deeper about the little steps you can take to improve your life.

    I finished The Midnight Library by Matt Haig recently. It was pretty good. It's about a character traveling to alternate dimensions to live a seemingly perfect life and eventually coming to accept what they have and finding happiness in life.

    I've been making my way through Ask Iwata. It's a fairly straightforward book, but I've definitely gotten some insight into how Iwata operated Nintendo. For example, he would interview every employee twice a year to make sure they felt comfortable at Nintendo. I would definitely recommend the...

    Trump vs. China by Newt Gingrich I've currently read the first part, which is 150 or so pages, and I've learned a fair amount about China that I didn't know. What was perhaps most revealing to me is how far ahead of us they are when it comes to 5G development and that the U.S. has a 5G problem...

    I recently finished Ship of Fools by Tucker Carlson. It was an enjoyable read overall. I think some of the ideas could have been fleshed out more, but I found most of the points presented to be logical. It really opened my eyes about how similar Democrats and Republicans have become these days.

    I finished reading Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee the other night. A lot of people seem to be slightly dissatisfied with the read, but to me it's one of the best books I've ever read, because its words ring so much truer than the all too perfect world set forth in To Kill a Mockingbird. In...

    I'm currently reading Beloved by Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison. It's a far cry from traditional tales about the horrors of slavery with magical realism intertwined.

    I recently started Things Fall Apart. It's a different look into the African continent from a native Nigerian. Customs are discussed in detail and the threatened native way of life if juxtaposed when European missionaries come abroad. Although the author, Chinua Achebe, is an African, he...

    I started read Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic by Matthew Kelley yesterday. I don't usually read theist literature but it was a free gift at Christmas mass. Why not pick it up? The format is to my liking and reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers.

    I'm currently reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. It's a big-hearted book about the hardships of living in Afghanistan from the late 1970s through the early 2000s told through the perspective of two women in a male dominated society. The dual narrative works well as one...

    We've begun reading King Lear in class on the heels of Hamlet. I've grown a bit weary of Shakespeare but this work might alter my thoughts. It's a much denser tragedy than I'm used to with more historical nuances present. The parental-children relationship theme discussed, however, is far...

    I'm currently reading Hamlet by William Shakespeare for school. It may be a classic but it's a very dense, slow read. I can't progress through two pages without the need to consult Sparknotes. On a side note, I think I'll use some of the work's ideas about suicide in future MD threads. I...

    I just finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey yesterday. It featured an intriguing plot to say the least through the lens of an Indian mental patient recovering his sanity. The end was particularly riveting. I'm planning on rereading George Orwell's 1984 this weekend in...
