Adolescent Odyssey
I don’t remember the first book I ever read, but the first one I recall having read to me was a favourite of my mother. Coincidentally, it’s a favourite of mine, though I think we’ll skip the philosophical discussion about indoctrination for another time. The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, is a wonderful book, but not the one I want to talk about today.

The Managerial Revolution
Have you ever bought a book sight unseen in terms of knowing what it’s about before you buy it? I have that’s what happened when I bought, The Managerial Revolution: What is Happening in the World, by James Burnham in 2013. This book sat on my shelf for the next year. Not because I wasn’t interested, rather it was marinating for the right time for me to read it. But boy, would this book change my entire outlook on the world once I did read it.

If I Started A Book Club For Black Men
For the last three years, I’ve been in a book club orchestrated by my girlfriend. As the lone man in a book club with only Black women, it has been a powerful journey. Often I find myself just listening and absorbing all of the knowledge that surrounds me. It’s beautiful to be welcomed in a vulnerable space. Other times I’m looking around and asking myself, “WHERE ARE THE BLACK MEN?!” If I’m being honest, I feel more comfortable in a room full of women than with men (I’ll figure this out with my therapist in the future), but I do think some great positivity could come from a group full of Black men reading together. So, I took myself on a journey all alone, and put together a group of books I think would be great for my own book club.

The secret behind every best selling novel
In order to captivate readers and keep them engaged. It's about creating that sense of curiosity, uncertainty, and anticipation that drives readers to continue turning the pages to find out what happens next. Whether it's a novel, a short story, or even a memoir, integrating elements of suspense can elevate the storytelling experience and make the narrative more compelling.

THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy
The Man wakes in the dark in the post-apocalyptic landscape, his son known only as the Boy, sleeps beside him, the father’s hand on his little chest feeling it rise and fall “with each precious breath.” We do not know what befell the earth and we never will. All we know is that the“Barren, silent, godless” world is dying and they need to move south or they will not survive the coming winter.

My Top Reads of 2023 (So Far)
I usually read around 50 books a year, give or take. I like to think this sum total breaks down to a diverse literary array: assigned classics for my college courses, page-turning thrillers, chart-topping bestsellers, nonfiction hyperfixation reads, etc.

Billionaires and Millionaires' most beneficial read
"I encourage people to read a lot. Basically try to ingest as much information as you can. Try to develop good general knowledge," Elon Musk says. The only way we can build knowledge is through reading books. You should as much as you can whether you agree with the concept or not, you become more educated. Remember Aristotle's nuggets of wisdom: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
