March Reads: Tim Tebow Through My Eyes

9670094 Filling in the blog with a post about some of the books I read in March. One of the books was Tim Tebow's Through My Eyes. As a Florida Gators and a football fan the book appealed to me.

Yes Tim Tebow worked hard to be a successful quarterback in college. I read through a few Goodread reviews and no one mentioned how much his parents sacrificed/spoiled him so he could be successful.

Reading the book I came away with why Tebow only wants to play quarterback.

It was also interesting to read his takes on games, wards, players and faith. As expected it was in the book.

Tim Tebow in the NFL may have been  bust. However, in life he has been a success and helped a lot of people. His future will be interesting and that might make a better book.

February Reads: Riders on the Storm

The third music bio I have read this year...

Riders On The Storm by John Densmore (the drummer of The Doors) - great book!

Different from "No One Here Gets Out Alive"  and perhaps not as entertaining. However, the insight and perspective is quite different and very interesting. IT was neat to read what John thought about being in a band with Jim Morrison. Thoughts on drugs, thoughts on how "straights" viewed long hairs back then. Also interesting to read about his struggles in life.

Interesting video below I thought would add to the post..


Like I stated earlier the year is starting off with me reading a lot of books. I'm a manic reader I will read a lot then I won't pick up a book for a long time. So, stay tuned and I will share another read soon.
