This is a collection of stories from many submitters about their fathers. It reminds me of James Patterson's "E.R. Nurses," though this feels more broad (and less powerful). Some of these anecdotes were touching, while some seemed duplicative. I enjo ...more | |

This is perfection in demonstrating silencing, misinformation, cover-ups, and the like at the highest level about a potentially globe-affecting event. How did author Higginbotham do it? How did he get the anecdotes, documents, facts, and the like to ...more | |

Disillusioned: Five Families and the Unraveling of America's Suburbs
by Benjamin Herold (Goodreads Author) |
|
I think this is an attempt to show the unfairness of housing in the United States. It reminds me of the superb "Evicted." I just didn't feel the power in this one that I felt in that one, and I quit after completing some 20% of this. ...more | |

I haven't quite finished this, yet I'm certain it's the clearest and most impactful book on personal finance I've read. It has some nice primers on risk and probability that apply to all aspects of life, as well. ...more | |

I thought the content of this book was broader than the title suggested, but nevertheless, I found it an easy listen and the author likable. I could've done without the big religion chunk towards the end. I think its "aboutness" is that humans have b ...more | |

I stumbled on this after having read the author's other book, "How to Raise an Adult." The first half of this is very good and demonstrates her nearly lifelong struggle with race and identity as the daughter of a Black man and a white woman. The fina ...more | |
