Nick Thacker: The Depths (Hardcover, 2014, Turtleshell Press) No rating

The depths is a well written thriller in adventure. From the very start this book takes you right into the action, and I loved it at each page turn. One of my favorite parts was the reference to Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, as I was born in that province.

If you like action with fantasy and fiction, I suggest putting this on your next to read list!

John G. Miller: QBQ! the Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability at Work and in Life

The audio is amazing too!

QBQ is the story of personal accountability. If you have the chance I highly recommend listening to this on audio. John Miller talks himself, and really brings his words and his story to life. My favorite story is when he is on a plane and someone next to him asks what he does for a living!

Mr Miller and I chatted once on twitter, it was the first time I had a conversation with one of my hero authors, it was awesome. He is a really nice, down to earth guy to talk with.

Stephen H. Segal: Geek Wisdom: The Sacred Teachings of Nerd Culture (2011)

The book that started it all!

No rating

One day in early 2018, I was sitting at my office desk thinking about revising the name of my website, I had a strong desire to share some of the wisdom I had learned over the years, but I wasn't sure what to call it. Someone popped into my office with a question, and after I answered they thanked me and told me telling me that they appreciated my 'geek wisdom'. So I thought, that sounds like a cool website name, I wonder if anyone has that domain. I looked up geekwisdom.org and did some google searches and came across this book. A book of geeky quotes and deeper meanings, kind of which I thought of it myself. A really good read!

Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Jeff Cox: The Goal (2012, North River Press)

Mr. Rogo, a plant manager, must improve his factory's efficiency or face its closing in …

An amazing resource! and excellent Story telling

I first found the goal many years ago, so long in fact it was on a compact disc (CD) audio file. I loved the book and have been hooked on the Theory of Constraints ever since!

Dan Willis: In Plain Sight (Arcane Casebook) (2018, Independently published) No rating

Just finished this book today - really enjoyed it. Some of my favorite parts included the brief mention of the Halifax explosion (I grew up in Nova Scotia), and the title which at first it is not clear why that particular title, but it all gets wrapped up in the end :-) Unlike many other detective novels, this one does not make it 'too easy' to figure it out. It has great plot twists and an amazing ending. Highly recommend!
