Abel Rodriguez is reading Fear: Trump in the White House
As a country, we have never been as close to a coup as we were last Jan. 6. It is both fascinating and scary that we Americans were willing to undo 300 years of a Union in progress and turn into a dictatorship. It is still too close to breathe a sigh of relief.

Abel Rodriguez is reading Versos Sencillos: Simple Verses (Recovering the Us Hispanic Literary Heritage) (Pinata Books for Young Adults) (English and Spanish Edition)
One of the world's best poets, his words could be a bunch of roses or daggers. La Edad de Oro should be read by all children. My favorite verso was " with the poor people on earth, I want to throw in my luck: the brook of the mountain pleasures me more than the sea". Simple, beautiful and allegorical at the same time.

Abel Rodriguez is reading The Men Who Stare at Goats
Terrific book. Insightful and introspective study of what makes military men and women think and behave a their peculiar way. Funny, but at the same time reflexive of the esoteric.

Abel Rodriguez is finished with Lincoln in the Bardo
Awesome what if on one of this country's greatest presidents. A father's grief juxtaposed with the imaginable grief for a nation torn apart at the time. Lincoln overcame many struggles within and outside him. I consider him the greatest.

Abel Rodriguez is reading All the Light We Cannot See
Life can be so ironic - that's the lesson that I learned from this book. The unlikeliest person can be a savior to someone who is in trouble, and the book is a great example of it.

So far the book is terrific. I never had an interest in star gazing, but I find this book fascinating and riveting. Great explanations of the universe's secrets.

Abel Rodriguez is reading The Book of Five Rings
A message from an unlikely source. Many philosophical concepts on the art of war and death, but also life. A must read for anyone in the business world, but also many valuable lessons full of nuggets to live by.
