Comments on: What I Read On My Summer Vacation https://ducttapemarketing.com/how-to-read/ Tue, 15 Nov 2016 20:36:26 +0000 hourly 1 By: markfortune https://ducttapemarketing.com/how-to-read/#comment-68203 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 01:38:00 +0000 https://ducttapemarketing.com/?p=26758#comment-68203 Will definitely check out Just Mercy and looking forward to the Fields book. Just finished Where Nobody Knows Your Name (John Feinstein about life in the minor leagues, talk about perseverance!) and digging into The Children by the late/great David Halberstam now, which seems pretty appropriate for today’s climate as well. Thanks for the suggestions!

I took a break from business books on my summer vacation. I went with In the Garden of Beasts, about the first U.S. Ambassador to Hitler’s Germany and The Orphan Master’s Son, a brutal and heart breaking look at life in North Korea. I highly recommend both.

I admit I am bad about reading, especially fiction, when we live in a ‘easy skim reading blog writing style news world’. I can’t recall the last time I read a book (other than marketing related books, or parent hacks!). But for some reason this quote caught my eye: “We are all broken by something. We have all hurt someone and have been hurt. We all share the condition of brokenness even if our brokenness is not equivalent. I desperately wanted mercy for Jimmy Dill and would have done anything to create justice for him, but I couldn’t pretend that his struggle was disconnected from my own. The ways in which I have been hurt—and have hurt others—are different from the ways Jimmy Dill suffered and caused suffering. But our shared brokenness connected us.”

I just purchased the book from Amazon, and look forward to reading !:)
