Missoula by Jon Krakauer
I work at the other university in Montana -- not the one featured in this book. I also lived in Missoula for one summer back in the mid-90's. The book raises important issues around sexual assaults and these issues go beyond Missoula and beyond college campuses. My impression was that the book was well researched, interesting, disturbing, and informative. I didn't agree with everything said in the book, but I still think it should be read. Grade: A-
The Martian by Andy Weir
A science fiction book about an astronaut stranded on Mars. The book was well written and seemed mostly (but not entirely) scientifically accurate. The book was fairly predictable, but it was still worth reading. Grade: B
Great by Choice by Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen
This is the best business book by Jim Collins yet, in my opinion. I enjoyed "Good to Great", but I thought this book was better. I really appreciated the focus on discipline and empirical decision making. Hopefully I will always remember to fire bullets then cannonballs. Grade: A-
I Hate Myselfie by Shane Dawson
I must be too old for this book and not part of its target audience. I will never know why it is on the New York Times best seller list. Not funny. Grade: F
