In the past few years (2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013) I’ve been summarizing the year on sports events (Ironman, running, biking, snowboarding, etc.) and books. Here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed most in 2022. A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini – I first read it around 2010 or 2011, but early this year, I went back. […]
It’s been a challenging year.A year that caused lots of misery and the long term implications are still going to be discovered in the future. Nevertheless, I’m trying to focus on the hope we see just around the corner. As for books and running/biking and swimming, it was all ‘virtual’ events. The Ironman race I was registered […]

But like most things in life, while we are making plans, things happen. In retrospective, it was a powerful, sad and interesting time. You can hear a lot of […]
Few of the best books I’ve read in the past and you might enjoy. There are in no special order, but if you love good stories start with the first and the last. One of the best books I read in a long time. It’s an interesting story about the humankind in the last […]
This year was full with good books. I got to some books by mistake (e.g. Girl with a pearl earring during a trip to Zion national park) and others after getting a warm recommendation. Here is the list of the ones that I like most. There were at least ~12 other books that I didn’t like and […]
Here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed in the past 6 months. I am trying to alternate between fiction and non-fiction on a weekly bases. I did two official marathons (Teveria and California international marathon) and another 2 that weren’t part of an organized race, so in the training for these events, I had […]
