Book Review: Books I’m Reading For School

It’s been a moment since my last book review but that isn’t because I haven’t been reading. If anything, I’ve been reading and studying more than ever, just not the really entertaining stuff. Like I said in my previous post Since We Will Be Having Coffee, I’m in school and in this post I will be sharing the books I’m reading this semester.

Book Review: Fear: Trump in the White House by Bob Woodward

Bob has written about 8 past Presidents in the White House including Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama.

Book Review: Circe by Madeline Miller

Circe struggled to navigate her world, understand the politics required to thrive in it and make a name for herself.

Book Review: The Outsider by Stephen King

This book is not as entertaining as it is disturbing. It brings up a lot of personal questions with respect to the power of identity its theft. What if there is another you?

Book Review: Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House

Do you still like having sex with your wife? How often? You must have had a better fuck than your wife? Tell me about it. I have girls coming in from Los Angeles at three o’clock. We can go upstairs and have a great time. I promise . . . And all the while, Trump would have his friend’s wife on the speakerphone, listening in.
