Books I read in 2018

Here are the books I read in 2018. Plus the comics every day. Thank goodness for the funnies.

The number surprised me. These books made me think, made me mad, entertained me and introduced me to new areas to explore. Charlie LeDuff's book "Sh*tshow - the country's collapsing and the ratings are great" resonated the most for me. I really enjoyed Phillip Glass' autobiography "Words without Music" and saw him perform in San Francisco in July. "Half-Earth" and "Ghosts of the Tsunami" helped me understand and made me sad. Pollan's book "How to change your mind..." was a nice 'trip' into exploration. My Uncle Woody Haut wrote another great story in "Day's of Smoke." And Thomas Friedman brought together major themes of Markets, Moore's Law and Mother Earth in "Thank you for being late."
