Collection: Book Recommendations - Reid Books for December 2024

Here’s a lively library, handpicked by me, Reid Bader, for folks who like their reads as varied as a road trip playlist and twice as engaging. Want to feel like you’ve got wings on your feet? Start with Born to Run. Craving adventure? Dive into the sands of Sahara or blast off with The Martian. For sports buffs, Friday Night Lights is a touchdown, while Shoe Dog laces up the ultimate entrepreneurial journey. Kinky Friedman’s Texas charm is alive and well in Guide to Texas Etiquette—a must-read for anyone navigating Lone Star State quirks.

But let’s not forget brainy wanderlust with Atlas Obscura, gut-punch journalism in War, and a deep dive into American history with The Last Campaign. For laughs and lessons, Craig Ferguson’s American on Purpose and Tony Hsieh’s Delivering Happiness deliver big. Think of this collection as a mix of grit, heart, and humor—kind of like me on a good day. Happy reading!
