Rereading Be Your Own Bodybuilding Coach by Scott Stevenson.

Next in line is Lord Of The Flies. I remember that I loved it the first time I read it, but I forget most of it. If I still enjoy it, I'll nudge my kids to give it a read.

I am a high school English teacher and this makes me so happy to see. TKAM is truly a masterpiece. I also teach “The Crucible” which is also particularly poignant.

I prefer fiction that’s less literary. This year I have read:

Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires 7/10 (PTA Moms United against a serial killing vampire)

A Man Called Ove 9/10 (Widower learns to love his neighbors)

The Burning 5/10 (Three lower-class Indians attempt to move up the Caste system while a terror plot shakes a small village)

East of Eden: (brothers learn the nature of man’s evil is of his own choosing while moving to California) 9/10

Currently reading: Aria (girl born in 1950’s Tehran experiences Iranian coup)

Books I ALWAYS RECOMMEND:

The Stand: 99.9% of the world dies in a tremendous plague, the remaining survivors regroup in two camps: good vs evil.

The Kite Runner: Afghani boys experience great tragedy as their lives remained wound together while the world around them falls into chaos

Life of Pi: the son of a zookeeper is stranded at sea with several exotic animals

Impressive list thus far.

My wife loves Murakami, reread lord of the flies a couple years back (sucks for your asmar), The Stand is my favorite book (unabridged version, Happy Crappy), Ove is one funny curmudgeon, read 1984 for the first time last year, and I enjoy reading the Bible.

You all aren’t as dumb as I look.
