Reading

I like to read. I have since I was a kid. Some of my favorite books are "classics" like To Kill A Mockingbird, Of Mice And Men, Where The Red Fern Grows.

Lately I have been into reading fictional books about the Holocaust. They are classified as fiction but they are all based on real people, and real events. Some of these include such titles as:

• We Were the Lucky Ones by George Hunter
• The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris
• Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum
• The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure

I had a conversation with my mom about the Holocaust books. I told her that I like reading them but that I kind of felt bad about liking to read them. She told me that I should not feel bad because we should never forget what happened to all those people. I believe that - we must never forget.

Reading is important. I also like to read business books. I've got a lot of those. Some business books that I have really enjoyed include:

• Beginner's Pluck by Liz Forkin Bohannon
• Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss
• The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier
• Work Rules by Laszlo Bock
• Start With Why by Simon Sinek
• The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni

Other books I've read in the past few months include

• Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee
• Lay That Trumpet In Our Hands by Susan Carol McCarthy
• 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper
• Daring Greatly by Brene Brown

I think reading is important. I want my daughters to read but I do not force it on them. I will suggest books for them to read and sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. 

What are some books that you like to read or would recommend others to read?
