I recently got back from a long-overdue vacation, during which I indulged my favorite passion. No, not that one. Reading, silly. While I normally write in-depth reviews of the business books I read, enjoy these capsules of some fun reading for a change.
- "Memory"
– Possibly my favorite Lois McMaster Bujold book. Ever. Phenomonal read. If you don’t know Bujold, and her brilliant character Miles Vorkosigan, you’re missing one of the great writers in fiction today. Yes, I know it’s science fiction. So what? This book is brilliant. If you’ve never read Bujold and you need a Vorkosigan primer, check out "Young Miles". Also, you can read “The Mountains of Mourning”, an early Vorkosigan novella, online, for free.
- "A Civil Campaign" – Lois McMaster Bujold. Again. So, I really like these books. Sue me. It’s my vacation, no?
- "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" – David Sedaris is one funny man. Twisted. But funny. Apart from a few cringe-worthy moments, this collection of essays provides both an interesting memoir and portrait of one American family. Well worth the read.
- "You’re in Charge, Now What?: The 8 Point Plan" – OK, so I had to sneak one business book in. I recently started a new job and I appreciated the tips in Neff and Citrin’s plan. If you’re changing jobs anytime soon, or want to achieve change in your current job, take a look.
