Summary

Another episode of My Favorite Things! In this episode, I talked about some of my favorite books that I've read in 2020! However, there are some rules! First off, It can't be books that I read for the podcast, which means, I have to look at it, pick it up, and read it casually. Secondly, the books that I recommend and talk about has to provide some sort of value or lesson when I read them! Those are the rules! Anyway, enjoy the list, and tweet at me @jaltucher and let me know if you like those books or if you have any list suggestions! I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!

1:00.0

One is every book has to be entertaining like it's got to be a fun book to read.

I don't want to suggest any books.

1:07.9

First off, nobody has to follow just because I like a book doesn't mean you're going
