Books

In my last post I talked about reading books that might help me on my journey. There are so many books I've started and not finished. I'm going to list them here to act as a visual aid to hold myself accountable.

So Sad Today
I am Malala
Che a biography by Fidel Castro
The Slow Regard of Silent Things
The Atlantic article on ISIS
Candy wrapped Kalashnikovs
Mexican American folklore
Bone-Coda
Last Chain on Billie
The Satanic Verses
Caliban's War Book 2 of the Expanse series
Complete Collection of HP Lovecraft tales
A Clash of Kings
The Martian
The Brain's Way of Healing
On the Move: A Life
Meditation and the Brain-How Modern Science is proving two thousand year old wisdom
Conquering PTSD: The Newest Techniques for getting your life back
Mind Sculpture
The Brain that Changes itself
Rewire your Brain
The Elegant Universe
Love and Math
Writing Down the Bones
One Year to a Writing life

As you can see I have a touch of the ADD when it comes to books, but I envision if I continue to read them I'll feel better about myself. As my confidence rises every time I go to the gym, I perceive my sense of self worth increasing as I finally finish what I've started. I will be good to close the chapter in my life where I was flakey. I'll feel more productive as I read and it will keep my mind occupied enough that hopefully I won't think about the negatives of the past and instead appreciate the present. Plus I'll be learning, how great is that. Additionally it will be a good idea to write about the books and how they impact me, it will help me to think critically again and prepare me for college life once more. 25 Books to go, Challenge Accepted!
