2021 Books That Influenced Me
I recall a quote or saying that I heard a few years back that reminisced… As we grow a year older of flip to a new calendar year the only meaningful advance one has made, besides the additional revolution around the sun, is the books they have read. I would like to add that experiences and travel should be included as equally important as the books you read. Nonetheless I thought this would be an important time to reflect on the books that influenced me in 2021.
- Bad blood is crazy story that is still unfolding in the courts today. Elizabeth Holmes once a Silicon Valley visionary has turned into what the general public has despised about greed and lofty ideas of Silicon Valley. This was one of my favorite of the 10 books I read this year.

3. Like many on the list John Grisham’s stories and style make for an enjoyable read.
