This is a funny, honest, and touching collection of essays about fatherhood, exploring “the persistent and disturbing gap between what I was meant to feel what I actually felt.” Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood, Michael Lewis The Anubis Gates is pretty wild: Egyptian mythology, poets, time travel, magic, vicious Georgian beggar gangs…yet somehow it works and is extremely entertaining. ![]() It was good! So I decided to read another book by him. I read Tim Powers’s book On Stranger Tides last year because I heard it was good and I was curious how a pirate fantasy novel from the 80s turned into a movie franchise based on an amusement park ride. One simple thing from the book I practice is greeting my daughter with “I’m happy to see you” rather than “what did you do today” or something like that. I don’t always live up to the authors’ suggestions, but I try. This book has been inspiring for my approach to parenting. ![]() How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and How to Listen So Kids Will Talk, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish This is…a bit delayed, but here are my favorite books that I read in 2018 (from the distant remove of December 2019, anyway). ![]()
