A Little More Into It
This was my very first read and is my favorite book yet! It changed me drastically by having an open heart and a appeal for Travis and people. I started to have a greater insight for others. It was exactly 405 pages long, and I just loved how I vowed to read it!!! Basically I came (home) from a typical good workday and started to read it from 8:30 @ night - to 6AM in the morning!! It was completed as my first read. I was so proud of myself! I loved these parts about the book:

The Game Changer
A book that changed me? Hmm... How far back can I remember, exactly? Every time I think of an influential novel in my history of being an avid reader, I remember an earlier one that I assume has had more of an impact, mostly because something, or quite rightly someone, that I had the good grace of being gifted as a child, sparked a beautifully endless stream of events that have carried me over the course of my life.

Serpents of the Silverwood
In the heart of a world where starlight and twilight danced in a symphony of enchantment, there lay a forest like no other. The Silverwood, they called it, its trees adorned with leaves of silver that shimmered like moonbeams. Each step within its depths was a journey into a realm untouched by the mundane, a realm where reality merged with dreams.

The Managerial Revolution
Have you ever bought a book sight unseen in terms of knowing what it’s about before you buy it? I have that’s what happened when I bought, The Managerial Revolution: What is Happening in the World, by James Burnham in 2013. This book sat on my shelf for the next year. Not because I wasn’t interested, rather it was marinating for the right time for me to read it. But boy, would this book change my entire outlook on the world once I did read it.

If I Started A Book Club For Black Men
For the last three years, I’ve been in a book club orchestrated by my girlfriend. As the lone man in a book club with only Black women, it has been a powerful journey. Often I find myself just listening and absorbing all of the knowledge that surrounds me. It’s beautiful to be welcomed in a vulnerable space. Other times I’m looking around and asking myself, “WHERE ARE THE BLACK MEN?!” If I’m being honest, I feel more comfortable in a room full of women than with men (I’ll figure this out with my therapist in the future), but I do think some great positivity could come from a group full of Black men reading together. So, I took myself on a journey all alone, and put together a group of books I think would be great for my own book club.

Billionaires and Millionaires' most beneficial read
"I encourage people to read a lot. Basically try to ingest as much information as you can. Try to develop good general knowledge," Elon Musk says. The only way we can build knowledge is through reading books. You should as much as you can whether you agree with the concept or not, you become more educated. Remember Aristotle's nuggets of wisdom: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
