Management Principles and Practices

The Primal Wound. Fairly disappointing. Didn’t seem based on much research and not terribly well written.

Guns, Germs, and Steel

I forgot to post that I finished Housekeeping (by Marilynne Robinson) last Saturday. Not 100% sure what’s up next. I still have those last 100 pages in Guns, Germs, and Steel. I did also sort of start The Picture of Dorian Gray, though I’m not very far into it. I also picked up Atala-Rene (Chateaubriand) and La Resistance Expliquee a Mes Petits-Enfants last night and thought I might do those. And, I ordered Primal Wound on half.com last night too. Oh, and I’m supposed to be reading a book on investments for work.

Finished Marley and Me. Cried for the last 3 chapters. Next up: finish Guns, Germs, and Steel (about 100 pgs left, STILL) and Housekeeping (have to finish by Sunday for my book group)

Finished Refuse to Choose today. Left Marley and Me in DoggyMommy’s car but once I get it back, I should have that one done pretty soon too!

So, I’m about 4-5 books behind right now, but hopefully I’ll finish Marley and Me this week, and maybe Refuse to Choose. I also only have 100 pages left in Guns, Germs, and Steel, and I started The Picture of Dorian Gray a while ago so maybe I can finish that. I thought I’d get a lot of reading done this weekend. You know, relax and read on the long 4 day weekend. But no. It was non-stop running around and I hardly read at all!

Just finished the very exciting book, Life and Health Insurance Underwriting. A real page-turner!

I’m at 20 so far. I go in reading spurts though so, even though I’m not reading much right now, I’ll catch up!
