What I’m Reading . . .
How often do statements like:
- “I just started reading . . .” or
- “A friend of mine recently recommended the book . . .”
work their way into a conversation. Most if not all of the books I’ve read recently have been the direct result of recommendations from friends, family, clients, team members, Advisory Board members and others that make regular contributions to the quality of my journey.
I’ve often thought of writing and posting a review of those books that added learning and meaning for me - but would immediately concede that there are a host of real writers and reviewers that do a far better job of that than I, so . . . what I decided instead is that I will post the titles of the books that I’m reading and extract a few key quotes that delivered an appropriate reminder, unique insight, amusement or – in some other fashion contributed to the quality and depth of my experience.
My purpose in sharing the posts is in large part a tool that ensures that as I read, I have a high level of consciousness and awareness of what has value for me, and then to extract that value which manifest itself in the form of welcomed reminders, insights etc. Joting them in this blog will enable me to readily refer back to those quotables and remind myself of their importance to me at a specific time and place in my journey. If by chance through the excerpts you get a sense of the content, quality and meaning of the books I read – such as it is, through my lenses, my hope would be that you would find in my posts something that contributes to your sense of purpose, inspiration or otherwise meaningful enjoyment.
