Finish, by Jon Acuff
An easy, amusing, common sense guide to getting your stuff done. I’ve unsubscribed to a lot of e-mails this past year but Mr. Acuff says things that align with my self-improvement philosophies. I’ll be integrating a lot of what he says in this fantastic book into my goals this year.
The Compassion of Father Dowling by Ralph McInerny
I’ve been diving into the things I loved as a kid this year and one of those things was the Father Dowling Mysteries TV show. I never wanted to read the books because they’re so different from the show. But I thought, what the heck? They’re cozy mysteries, another thing I loved as a kid, and they’re written by a Catholic author. How bad can they be? So far this short story collection is delighting me.
The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak
I’m starting this one as soon as I finish the Father Dowling collection. It’s a love letter to programming, PCs, early eighties culture, and being a teenager . Yes, please.
