Mosquito Empires
J. R. McNeill
@UMNBookworm Influential on me? Professionally it’s Mosquito Empires by McNeill. Personally, probably the Christian bible. Taught me that what I saw in church wasn’t the same as in the book. I passed on religion years ago, but appreciate those who practice whatever faith makes sense to them

Greenlights
Matthew McConaughey
I’ve been reading a bunch of philosophy and personal memoirs lately. @McConaughey’s Greenlights is a bit of both. Took some time to find the right reading cadence for this, but after I slowed down I began to really enjoy it.
