Here are 5 things I learned reading, The Seven Good Years, By: Etgar Keret

1. Children are incredibly enlightened.

2. Nutrition and physical activity should not be overlooked. Even for a writer.

3. Women can be incredibly unsympathetic to physical pain in men.

4. The ability to sense when others adults need to go to the bathroom might be the funniest skill ever.

5. Being a father is about playing Pastrami with your entire family if they ever need you to. And playing it sometimes just for fun.

Here are 5 things I learned reading, Blue Like Jazz, By: Donald Miller

1. You are not responsible to change anyone. You just need to love and affirm them.

2. Arguing is pointless. Unless someone knows you like them, they aren’t going to listen to a word you say.

3. Dying for something can be easy. Living for it can be the difficult part.

4. Smoking cigarettes and eating chocolate can go with Bible reading.

5. “I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn’t into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.”
