Welcome to Reading Minds where ordinary people read extraordinary books!
Today Mason is joining me to talk about our new reading tactic: assigning each other books.
This time he read A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell and I read The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien.
Stay tuned for some moderately amusing banter about our baby’s name and whether or not to leave us a five star review.
