The Challenge

The Challenge:

35 stories in 35 weeks.

I recently read an opinion article in the local paper asking for the best quick-read books (<200 printed pages). They listed 30, plus 5 honourable mentions. So here I go. I'm going to try to read at least book a week. Some are classic, some are recent best sellers, some I've read before, some I'm not very interested in (but will struggle through - it's only 200 pages max, right?), some are on my "TO READ" list.

Why am I doing this? 

Honestly, I'm in my 30's, have 3 degrees and 3 kids and a great marriage. It would be easy to "mail it in" at this point, but I don't want to be that man. I don't want to be stuck in my ways. Well, not all of my ways--there are some that I have cultivated over time and are very good for me. Others are not, and stagnation in personal growth is one of the "not-to-be-stuck-in" ways. 

So welcome to this Re:Education Blog. These posts are meant to serve as a forum for my own thoughts and continuing education, so caveat lector.
