I feel like I haven’t had that much time to read (or blog, or play drums, or work, or…) over the past month and a half or so, but as I was organizing my bookshelf moments ago I realized that I might have been wrong.
- Butcher by Gary C. King
- The Man With the Candy by Jack Olsen
- Drive by Daniel H. Pink
- Mindhunter by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker
I have to say Drive was a very interesting read! I kept on saying “That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking, this is how it should be!” to myself a lot. Anyone looking into running your own business, managing a team or just wanting to feel more motivated and achieving more in life should spent the night or two it takes you to finish this book. You can start with this ten minute animated speech on Youtube and don’t tell me it didn’t inspire you!
Mindhunter was also an interesting read, although not exactly what I expected. I do read a lot of true crime and am very fascinated by the profiling side of it all, but this book was almost an autobiography with maybe half of it dealing with cases Douglas worked on during his career. This is not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, but I guess I was expecting something a little different. I’m sure The Cases That Haunt Us, which is currently waiting for its turn, will be just that.
