I smiled the whole way through this. Love the tradition. My husband is a speed reader and reads hundreds of books a year. It’s difficult to find something he hasn’t read. I like the idea of 3 books to take the pressure off.
A book he’s recently enjoyed is ‘The Twilight World’ by Werner Herzog. It’s a true story about a Japanese soldier who defended an island in the Philippines for 29 years. He was unaware the war was over until someone went looking for him.
"What ideas am I giving away, what perspective am I putting into someone's mind" - this is fabulous. I've always loved giving books to others - something that was modeled to me by my parents, but I've never thought of it just this way - which is a perfect way to capture it. And in reverse - why is someone sharing this particular book with me? - gets me even more interested in reading it. Thank you!
Love the book flood idea! I loved getting books for Christmas this year. One book suggestion is Design Your Life - an insightful and action-oriented book
Hunt Gather Parent - totally love that. Is Clayton a frameworks person? He may like the intersection of decision frameworks, world travel with younguns and parenting in my book "Contours of Courageous Parenting - Tilting Towards Better Decisions"! Bet he won't see that one coming.

I love this, and love the slight adjustments. This might also slow my roll a bit on buying books with little thought. My wife is a fan of that.
So many books to recommend. I have to say, Will the Circle Be Unbroken? by Sean of the South was tremendous.

I'm also on a life-long push to get everyone to read this book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1422118924/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
