2024 Summer Reading List: Mine
Ah, summer: the time for intense humidity, biting mosquitos, terrible sunburn, and intentional reading.
If you – like me – believe that one of those things are not like the other, then read on. We’ll enjoy this together.
Earlier I shared ten titles I think you should consider. As for me and my Kindle, I’m going to attempt to tackle everything from the American presidency to the Jewish Holocaust, and space fiction to semiaquatic rodents, sometime between Memorial Day and Labor Day:
Andy and Don: The Making of a Friendship and a Classic American TV Show (Daniel de Visé)
Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America (Leila Philip)
Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (Isabel Wilkerson)
The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction (Justin Earley)
The Deeply Formed Life: Five Transformative Values to Root Us in the Way of Jesus (Rich Villodas)
Essential Christianity: The Heart of the Gospel in Ten Words (J.D. Greear)
First in Line: Presidents, Vice Presidents, and the Pursuit of Power (Kate Anderson Brower)
Out of the Silent Planet (C.S. Lewis)
Presidents in Crisis: Tough Decisions inside the White House from Truman to Obama (Michael Bohn)
Race Against Time: A Reporter Reopens the Unsolved Murder Cases of the Civil Rights Era (Jerry Mitchell)
