I read some great, great books in April!
All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox Modern Parenthood by Jennifer Senior
This is the book that I wish someone had given me once upon a time. It does a really nice job of describing the challenges of the various stages of parenthood. In my experience, the book is very insightful and authentic. The last chapter does a really nice job of highlighting the joys of parenthood -- make sure you read the last chapter. Grade: A-
Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt by Michael Lewis
Get a copy of this book and read it! It is a book about the impact of high frequency trading on the stock market and about a group of individuals fighting against this influence. I found it to be incredibly interesting. A must read. Grade: A
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail by Cheryl Strayed
An incredible book about a troubled women that decided to hike the Pacific Coast Trail. Extraordinarily good. I would love to hike even a part of the PCT someday. Grade: A
