Michael’s Recent Updates

The Russo-Ukrainian War by Serhii Plokhy
"I’m being honest, I knew very little about the history of tension between Ukraine and Russia. This book taught me so much, and not only about Russo-Ukrainian war/politics/history, but about how it’s connected to so much more than those two countries." Read more of this review »

Villa Coco by Andrew Sean Greer
"Some books feel like an escape. Villa Coco feels like being gently carried away on warm Tuscan air, dropped into a place where time bends, rules blur, and every strange little moment somehow adds up to something quietly profound.

Quotes by Michael Goddart  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Don’t expect perfection and things to go the way you want
them to when it comes to people, business, your prospects,
and your social life. When things don’t go according to your desires, when the weather of life is foul, be creative and
consider what may be the higher reasons why this is
happening and why you must adjust. Perhaps it’s to gain forbearance, patience, inner strength, flexibility, or the
ability to withhold criticism while serving as a loving model.”
