This summer, I’m catching up on my reading. I think this year has been the first year where there has not been as much reading in my life as I’m used to. This list is my summer reading list. Feel free to add suggestions in the comments. What’s the best book you’ve read in a long time?
A Prophetic Imagination, Walter Bruggeman
The Watchmen (yes the graphic novel)
The Practice of Adaptive Leadership: Tools and Tactics for Changing Your Organization and the World, Ronald A. Heifetz
The Art of Governance, Dan Hotchkiss
Why We Love: the Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love, Helen Fisher
A Place at the Table: The Gay Individual in American Society, Bruce Bawer
Experiencing the Enneagram, Richard Rohr and others
The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels, Thomas Cahill
People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil, M. Scott Peck
Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, John Shelby Spong
The Art of Blessing the Day: Poems with a Jewish Theme, Marge Piercy
I highly recommend — if you haven’t read it already — that you check out “The Yiddish Policemen’s Union,” by Michael Chabon. Splendid.
