Recently I have been reading some sociological books on young people and young dudes in particular. It has been a good study and I thought I would recommend them for those hanging with the peoples born after 1970 (and yes, I barely make it into that club by 2 years)

Guyland - The perilous world where boys become men by Michael Kimmel. Guyland chronicles the world that many college and frat boys travel in…until they are about 36 or so. Just kidding - well maybe not. Interesting read on young male culture in America.
Generation Me: Why Today’s Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled—and More Miserable Than Ever Before by Jean Twenge. Generation Me is a study of the perspectives of young people today regarding just about everything. A good read on the first generation taught to care more about “self” than about “duty” - yeah, interesting.

And a few pleasure reads - on audio book…

Googled: The End of the World As We Know It by Ken Auletta- Another book about the history of Google but this one has some really interesting stuff about the affect of Google and the Internet on other major media companies, older paradigns. I enjoyed Auletta’s book on Microsoft and this one is great so far. I am a sucker for tech history books.
Soren Kierkegaard - The Giants of Philosophy by John j. Stuhr - A very simple audio book on the late Danish philosopher. For those new to philosophy these little vignettes are pretty good. I bought this one on iTunes and it is read by Charlton Heston…which is cool.

Also reading a bunch of commentaries on the gospel of Luke for our Let Jesus Speak series at the JDub. Darryl Book and Leon Morris have been friends. Most recent message can be found here.

Back to tending to the kiddos.
