I’m heading way up to balmy Nipigon, Ontario today for the holidays, where I’ll attempt to stay warm (good luck) and stay away from the computer. With that, I’ll be going on a blog break, likely until the 4th of January.
Before I head out, I thought I’d share my reading list for the next week. Here are three books that have been recommended to me, that I’m going to attempt to fire through. In no particular order:
‘Soccernomics‘ by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. This blends football with Freakanomics and apparently busts plenty of myths about who does well and why and, I quote, “Why are the people who run soccer clubs so dumb?”
‘Only the super-rich can save us‘ by Ralph Nader (pictured). This is Nader’s utopian fantasy, and through fiction he does his best to convince us that maybe, just maybe, his vision isn’t crazy at all.
‘Eternal Life: A New Vision‘ by John Shelby Spong. Spong is described as the most articulate voice for a new Christianity. And for this weak agnostic, his quest for truth and unwavering hope is something I’m hoping will rub off on me a little.
Have a safe and happy holiday!
