In the last post, I detailed the 10 books I read last year. Here’s a list of books I intend to read this year. As stated, the goal is 11 books. The list contains nine, leaving two spots open. There are two reasons for this. One, it’s early and something is bound to come out I’ll want to read. Two, now that the Mitch Rapp series is complete, they will be hard to ignore.
The Power of Less by Leo Babauta. In a world full of clutter, how is less more? Already skimmed through. Suits my style perfectly. To the point. Practical and a quick read.
4HWW-Expanded and Updated by Tim Ferris. This one is next. Can’t wait to get started. Should be in it before January is over.
Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. Reading it now. After all I’ve heard, very excited to get this book. The sole Navy SEAL survivor of a mission gone bad in Afghanistan. In case you didn’t know, SEALS are badasses.
The Covenant of the Wild by Stephen Budiansky. From the back cover, Animal-rights extremists argue that eating meat is murder and that pets are slaves. … shows domestication of animals is not an act of exploitation but a brilliantly successful evolutionary strategy. Sounds like my kind of book.
The Blind Side by Michael Lewis. Because I’m in love with Sandra Bullock and I’d rather read the book than watch the movie. Plus I love me some football.
Memorial Day and Consent to Kill by Vince Flynn. No explanation needed.
Living Life in the Zone by Kyle Rote and Joe Pettigrew. A book for men on being a better Christian.
The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith. After all I’ve heard and read about this book, I feel like I’ve read it. Sadly, that is not the case. But it won’t be for long.
So there you have it. The books I read last year and what I’m going to read this year. When the open slots get filled, I’ll let you know. What are you going to read this year?

Not sure what your stance is on diet-related books, but I wanted to put a plug in for Nora Gedgaudas’ Primal Body – Primal Mind. Really one of the best I read in 2009! http://www.primalbody-primalmind.com

I’ve read great reviews of the book and it is one I’d like to read. Maybe I should create wish-to-read list? Thanks for the comment.
Best,

You have to put “House to House: An Epic Memoir of War” by SSG David Bellavia on your list. I read this book in one sitting! Amazing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had never heard of the book but read some reviews. Looks pretty good!

If you get a chance to squeeze in another, Gut and Psycholgy Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride is very fascinating. You can get in better touch with your tenants. Good Germs, Bad Germs is very good too.
