For the last nine years, we have been sharing our insights about the books that we have connected with, and that have connected with us, over the preceding year. It has become on of our favourite webinars, a sentiment shared by many of our fans. 2021 was a more challenging year than many. We are grateful to reach the end, and to share with you what inspired us along the way.
Taking A Read On 2020
Books have their own magic. Woven through the words, sentences, paragraphs and chapters of the good ones is something exceptional, unique and enchanting. Every year, Peter and Mark share their most interesting, meaningful and extraordinary reads of their year. As we close the cover on this most challenging of years, we hope there is something within that you find of value.
The Foundational Books
Every profession has its own foundational texts that lay out the principles and theoretical underpinnings of their domain. Every person has their foundational books, as well. This webinar explores bibliography as biography. Mark explores the essential books that most influenced what he does, how he functions and the essential principles that shape his worldview.
Taking a Read on 2019
Every year, we share a sampling of our favourite books of the year, with each other and our viewers. Our choices are always unique, but often overlap and align well.
Taking A Read on 2018
Every year, Mark and Peter explore the books they found most valuable and engaging. The books are usually diverse, often connected and always interesting.
Taking a Read on 2017
As always, we round out our year with an exploration of our favourite books of the previous 12 months. Some are new, and some we have re-read (because they were that good). To us, they are the books that are most worthy of buying and reading, and so we want to share them with you.
