A necessary read in the new day and age of AI recruiting. Everything is automated, so what should we expect? It is getting harder to get a new job.

Lovely and shot book, had a nice rhythm

The book was an easy read and the imagery and words were amazing.

Funny book from a funny and a straightforward guy. I loved how he connected with his kids. He explained the first relationship and the issues. He is a great guy who talks his mind. Loved this book.

It’s good, the advice was good as a dog owner and it taught me quite a bit. I just wished I could ask the 15 other questions that popped in my mind while I was reading the book.

The information in the book is really good but I think based on the advances in technology and law, getting outdated. Snowden exposed lots of holes and it has become a dangerous world even in the US. I hope we have more books updated in the future such as this one.

Pretty informative book on how a non binary person feels and the pronouns e wants to use. My only concern is the jumping back and forth when em were young and old.

A well written biography of the writer and humorist Art Buchwald. There was a lot of history and research during the last 60 years and was presented well.

A very good book all the way to the beginning of how surgery came into being from ancient days to the future. The author has a command of the subject. I wish though he had stated why he keeps calling surgeons, knife bearers?

A really good book discussing the flaws of a team, in this case an executive team but could be any team. I really liked how the author broke things down and had good examples. It was slow in the beginning but it gets really good.

The book seemed very fascinating for me to learn about Japanese art, but the book reads more like an encyclopedia. It has lots of reference material. I liked the people but was disappointed when the author stopped at 1950.

I suspect the imagery and the writing in native Japanese was more powerful than what I read. The sand and the captivity and what it represents was lost in the translated English. Good story and premise though. Found this book from our library program where the book is hidden. Good find.

Pretty quick read, had a hard time to follow the writing. It wasn’t until the end when I read the excerpts of the poems that I wanted to re-read some of the poems.

Insightful comments when preparing for a speech. Book needs to be updated to account for modern zoom and online meetings.

A book about ambassador William Dodd who was the ambassador to Germany from 1933-37. At times there was too many details but overall it was a good expose in life in Germany in the pre-war era.

It started out great. I was excited about learning and how a beginner starts and challenges and disappointments of being stuck as a beginner. But the book devolved and I wasn’t sure what it was all about. I read the rest of the book in a day just to finish.

Funny stories, got caught up in the life of astronauts and the various controversies. I was wondering where did Mars come in all this until the last chapter.
