Books I’m Reading
“The Narcissism of Small Differences” by Michael Zadoorian - The story is set in Detroit in 2009: A look at the life and relationships of a 40ish couple told with great dialog and humor. The author lives in Detroit and is adept at weaving in the unique locales and highlighting the grit of the city.
“Think Like a Monk” by Jay Shetty. Timeless wisdom Shetty learned as a monk transcribed into everyday practical steps. I enjoyed the book much better than listening to his podcasts. Perfect for this time of reflection as we round the corner on Covid 19.
“Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens. I think everyone has read this book except me. If you haven’t, I highly recommend it. Owens paints word pictures that make you feel like you’re on the coastal marsh-land of North Carolina. A movie version of the book will come out late this fall.
