Lists

Book List - I read primarily history and biography. Here is my list, which I was inspired to start by Dr. Richard Nathan's book list.

Movie List - If you like Turner Classic Movies, you'll like my movie collection.


RICHARD NATHAN'S RULES FOR REGULAR READERS

1. Decide what type of books you like best. For me, it’s history and biographies. One of my pet peeves is we don’t teach students
enough history.

2. Rule No. 2 is especially important: If you don’t like a book, don’t finish it. Never force yourself to read a book you aren’t enjoying.

3. Read each day, even if only for half an hour.

4. Buy a lot of books. Used books are the best. Mark them up. A good system is to underline the parts you like, and note the
page numbers up front. Take possession of your books!

5. Another good rule is that if a book is more than thirty years old and you’ve heard about it, you should try it.

6. Don’t watch too much TV. Groucho Marx once said, “TV is good for me, because every time someone turns it on I go and
read a book.”
