Summer Fall Reading List

The Dynasty, by Jeff Benedict. A history of the New England Patriots, with focus on owner Robert Kraft, head coach Bill Belichick, and QB Tom Brady.

The Patriot Threat (Cotton Malone #10), by Steve Berry

The Kaiser’s Webb (Cotton Malone #16), by Steve Berry

Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones, by James Clear. I need to read this book every year.

The President’s Daughter, by Bill Clinton and James Patterson

Dooley: My 40 Years at Georgia, by Vince Dooley & Tony Barnhart. I love me some Vince, but he comes off as bitter, focusing on the events leading to his departure as athletic director. Also a good inside look at all the things a college AD does.

The Last Man (Mitch Rapp #13) by Vince Flynn

Sooley, by John Grisham. An inspiring rags-to-riches story of an African basketball recruit, with a surprise ending.

The Keillor Reader, by Garrison Keillor. Semi-autobiographical.

Billy Summers, by Stephen King. Billy is a hit man, hired for one last big payday. As usual, terrific character development, detail, and suspense from King. But the book isn't about the hit, but rather Billy's planning in the weeks beforehand, and the weeks afterward as he make his getaway.

A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle.

Out of the Silent Planet (The Space Trilogy #1), by CS Lewis

Truman, by David McCullough. One of our greatest presidents, who led the nation out of war and into the modern age, in a time of tremendous change.

The Inner Circle (Culper Ring #1), by Brad Meltzer. Based in the National Archives. I need to finish this series.

The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. More of a play that I listened to, the actors overly dramatic.

Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us, by Michael Moss. Thought it was a diet book, but instead details on how Kraft, General Foods, and other conglomerates engineer food to feel and taste just right, damn the calories and negative benefits. Scary stuff. Stay away from as much processed food as you can.

Killing the Mob: The Fight Against Organized Crime in America, by Bill O’Reilly & Martin Dugard.

My brag: working on my 40th book of the year, a record for me. Perhaps next year I'll cut back on social media and read even more.
