Books can take us out of ourselves into new and interesting
situations. This didn’t happen as much as I wanted it to this
year. The stress of the pandemic often made it hard to
concentrate. I managed to finish that masters degree too -
which kept me from some of the fiction I like to devour.
I also did one hand painted comic for each day of the year.
I’m enormously pleased with myself for that. For those of
you who make it to the end of the following annotated list
of the things I did read, you’ll find another list of some of
the podcasts that kept me company along the way.
Enjoy!
- The Russian Five - Keith Gave. What better way to start the new year than a book on hockey and the cold war? Overall though the plotline was missing. The writing was fine, just disconnected.
- Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life - Stephen Hayes. A stupid title. Some good exercises.
- Justice Is Beauty - Michael Murphy & Alan Ricks. A look at architectural case studies that combine beautiful design and social justice.
- Library of the Unwritten - A.J.Hackworth. The first in the Hell’s Library series. An AWESOME adventure.
- Breaking Ground: Architecture by Women - Jane Hall. A book I bought for the library with pretty pictures and brief snippets about 50 (mostly still living and practicing) architects. Money well spent.
