Especially in today’s world “news” is unreliable at best. So it’s our responsibility to find out what is opinion –– perception of what is right/correct v. our spending effort and time to validate/learn for ourselves.
My reading is determined by my curiosity to learn. As with everything, time and experience changes interests.
Major areas of interest for me are:
1.) History: US + World + Founding Fathers + Native Americans
2.) Bible based: Bible and few writers
3.) Living life: Some ancient philosophers
What’s important:
1.) Values and health (both mental + physical).
2.) How to use our most limited resource (time) wisely.
My favorite books (not in a set order):
1.) Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder by Nassim Taleb
2.) Knowing God by J.I. Packer
3.) Guns, Germs and Steels by Jared Diamond
4.) 1776: America and Britain at War and American Spirit both by David McCullough (All of his books are great!)
4. Founding Fathers: The Fight for Freedom and the Birth of American Liberty by K.M. Kostyal
5. Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis
