Of Boys and Men by Richard V. Reeves

There's this sense in society that men should apologize for being men. That's a terrifying statement to write, even in a Goodreads review. But I believe it to be true. I also believe it's unfair. And I'm finding the courage to say it more as my two b ...more

I've read a fair amount of books about disconnecting from the worst parts of smartphone technology, but this one specifically focused on the anxiety such things cause and the writer's personal experience with those anxieties. The best part of reading ...more

This book was good for helping to create a writing habit, and some of the tasks served well as writing prompts, but ultimately, the spirituality aspect didn’t resonate with me. After Week Five, when I read about doing the things I wanted to do, I rea ...more

A must-read for anyone truly interested in bridging the vast political divide. And also for parents -- like me -- who struggle to find the line between keeping their kids safe and exposing them to necessary hardships.

Perfect pacing, honest and forthcoming. I finished reading this a couple of weeks ago and I remember thinking there was a reason it deserved four stars instead of the rare five-star rating. But dammit if I can remember the reason now. I finished it a ...more

Chuck Palahniuk
“At the time, my life just seemed too complete, and maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Steve Jobs
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs

David Sedaris
“Every gathering has its moment. As an adult, I distract myself by trying to identify it, dreading the inevitable downswing that is sure to follow. The guests will repeat themselves one too many times, or you'll run out of dope or liquor and realize that it was all you ever had in common.”
David Sedaris, Naked

Henry David Thoreau
“One farmer says to me, 'You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;' and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

Henry David Thoreau
“The universe is wider than our views of it.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden & Civil Disobedience
