"I am just finishing Bill Bryson’s book, Made in America: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States.  Words and language are favorites of mine, and the historical (and sometimes humorous) insights Bryson provides on English usage are both informative and entertaining."

"On days when I commute to the office by car, I often find that a good "read" – by audiobook on my ipod, that is – is a marvelous antidote to rush hour traffic. It was in this setting that I recently enjoyed Pema Chodron’s Getting Unstuck: Breaking Your Habitual Patterns & Encountering Naked Reality. A wonderful Buddhist teacher, she inspires me to become more aware and to look differently at so many of the ways we may hold ourselves back from living more fully."

"Imre Kertész' Kaddish for Our Child Not Born differs from other Holocaust works.  It rages against a world that would produce the Holocaust, one in which the protagonist therefore refuses to procreate. This 100 page primal scream was probably the trigger for his award of the 2002 Nobel Prize for literature."

"I've been reading The Best of I. F. Stone, a selection of the great journalist's reports from the 1940s to the early 1970s.  The pieces are wonderful.  They open a window into the times they reported on, like the McCarthy era or the civil rights movement, and also remind us that we face many of the same issues today."

"The last book I read was Leading Leaders, How to Manage Smart, Talented, Rich and Powerful People.  I chose this book because of the work I am doing as Chairman of the Board of a hospital; but the book would be equally valuable to anyone responsible for managing a law firm."
