I’m glad you enjoyed Being Mortal. I always recommend that book and am happy when I see people read it. I thought I was done with self-help as a genre, but I’ve gotten back into it recently. I also enjoy reading biographies and admire your reasons for reading them.
@katsbooks2631 Thanks! Generally, the more practical and specific the self help book is, the better I like it. Atomic Habits is way better than Awaken the Giant Within, for example.
That would do it, Randy. Walk on Water sounds interesting as my granddaughter needed heart surgery right out of the gate. She had so many issues that she had to contend with and will be for the rest of her life, but she's a trooper and is doing so well now. Her doctors truly are miracle-workers.
@MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn You ought to definitely read this book then, as you'll be able to relate to some of the stuff in that book in ways that few others can.
Looking good, Randy 😊 I e read _James,_ and _The Trees,_ and am currently reading _So Much Blue._ I'd like to do a video comparing & contrasting _Gatsby_ with _Appointment in Samsara,_ someday soon 🔜
@LiterateTexan That's great news. I enjoy your channel because your reading tastes often align with mine. I'm reading an autobiography now, too, Being Henry by Henry Winkler. (Fonz) He's someone who just seems like things should have come easy for him but he has had to overcome a very difficult childhood and disability. I'm just up to his being cast in Happy Days. So far, impressive!
I loved Being Mortal! 5 star read James was 5 stars also. I liked his book The Trees even more. Is that possible? 168 pound loss is amazing! Nice to see you back
@@deborajohnson5717 I'll have to read The Trees then; I haven't read it. It's really nice to be back. I love my friends here on RUclips more than most of you can imagine. I'm dealt happy about the weight loss. Thanks for your kind and supportive words!
I started the Carter biography "The Outlier" last year and for whatever reason put it down. My goal is to finish it this year. It has been fascinating so far. Supper Better sounds interesting. I added it to my list.
@michaelclark1811 Thanks! I've lost 3 sizes, too... from 10xl to 7xl. Plenty more to lose, but I'm off to a good start. I appreciate the encouragement.

Great to see you Randy! I really enjoyed Being Mortal and Salem’s Lot. Walking is wonderful.
@@sterlingreads547 Great minds think alike.
Great come-back, and so good to see you looking so healthy and enthusiastic, and reading books!
@Eldertalk I've had a really big reading year in 2024 so far. Not much else to do besides physical therapy.
You were much more productive in your October reading than I was, Randy. Looking good!
@MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn I was unable to do mutch of anything but read and do physical therapy.

@bighardbooks770 I don't know anything about Appointment in Samsara. Tell me about that!?
@LiterateTexan Classic novel by John O'Hara ...
How did I miss this video? Good to see you looking so well and back making more videos! Happy weekend!
@@laurels7892 I'm going to make more videos this week, too. Your kind words of encouragement inspire me.

@laurels7892 I very much enjoyed Being Henry. He seems like a real mensch.
@@LiterateTexan ha! that just confirms my comment about the alignment of our reading tastes! Lol 🥰
@laurels7892 Right!? I laughed when you said that's what you're reading right now!

@@KellyLovesBooksandMovies I can't wait to hear what you think of both. Sounds like we have some serendipity in our reading tastes!
congrats on the weight loss buddy!!!
