📚 Finished reading: Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13 by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger, ISBN: 9780395670293

This was terrific. It was probably more detailed than most people would care for, but it was right up my alley.

📚 Finished reading: Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed, ISBN: 9780307476074

I love everything about this book. This was my third read through and I was delighted to remember all the details I had forgotten.

📚 Finished reading: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling, ISBN: 9781781100516

This was the second time I read this with my son. I think we both got more out of it this time. This is probably my second favorite book of the series and my favorite of the movies.

📚 Finished reading: Getting Things Done by David Allen, ISBN: 9780743520348

I have mixed feelings about this. The first time I tried to read this I didn’t make it very far on account of the boringness. Recognizing that it is hugely influential (and probably so for a reason) I made a second attempt (this time in audio form), and I was able to get through it without my mind wandering too far away.

There’s a lot to like here. It’s funny to me how much Allen clings to paper even in the updated 2009 version of the book. Some of his principles seem to apply equally well to all humans, while others are highly focused toward corporate managers. This is definitely worth a read.
