The Top Ten Books I Read in 2023

Beginning Educator: Navigating a Second Year in Teaching - Tim Clark

Written by my favorite teacher from high school and published posthumously, this collection of newspaper columns is balm to an educator’s soul. With wit and economy, Clark captures the tempest of emotions teachers go through on a daily or (sometimes) a class by class basis. Never before had I run into a book that captures what life as an educator is really like.

This Other Eden - Paul Harding

Harding’s debut novel Tinkers is a top ten book for me - lyrical, elegant, and unapologetically New England. Harding’s third book is more of the same, only with melancholy tinged with rage. Based on a shameful chapter in Maine’s history, Harding’s story breaths life into a community on the periphery and gives it back its dignity.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold - Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Somewhere in Japan there’s a cafe where you can travel into the past. However, there are rules. Lots of rules. Originally written as a play (and it reads like one), this novel has an irresistible premise that drives a beautifully character driven plot that slowly builds to an aching, moving crescendo that overcomes the flaws in its craft. I haven’t been able to stop think about it for weeks.

Writers & Lovers - Lily King

Set in a specific time (the 90s) and a very specific place (Cambridge, Mass.), King’s story captures a woman at a crossroads and in crisis - some of her own making, some not. At times I felt seen while reading this. The rest of the time I was enthralled with King’s empathetic, conversational style.

Station Eleven - Emily St. John Mandel

In the words of Bill Adama of Battlestar Galactica, "it’s not just enough to survive, one must be worthy or survival.” In a world where over 90% of the population perishes in a flu epidemic, a traveling troupe of actors goes from town to town putting on Shakespeare for the shattered remnants of civilization - refusing to let the light of art die out. There’s more to the story, of course - one that Mandel writes with grace and impressive depth; it’s a rare post-apochalytic novel that offers a glimmer of hope because people chose hope.

Moon of the Crusted Snow - Waubgeshig Rice

What would happen if the electricity suddenly went out for good? We’ve seen that story before. What we haven’t seen before is that story from a Native American perspective. A story about the clash of individualism and communalism and of resiliency and reclamation, Rice has a gift of brining a new lens to a familiar situation. I cannot wait to read the sequel when it comes to the U.S.

We Took to the Woods - Louise Dickinson Rich

A Maine classic that can be found in many a cabin, this autobiography of a sort presents a side of Maine few people outside of the state know. This chronicle of life deep in the Maine woods with her husband and infant son struck a chord with me because of my own family history. The attitudes, ethos, and worldview had me nodding as I read - hearing a world that was at once distant and achingly close whisper in my ear.

We Need to Talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver

Simply the most disturbing book I’ve red in years. Shriver excels at creating a sense of foreboding. You see the train wreck coming and at certain points I almost screamed in frustration for someone to do something. No one in this story is an angel, which only makes things worse. Even now, as I write this, I feel the creepiness tingling in my skin.

Aftermath: The Remnant of War - Donovan Webster

Who cleans up the battlefield after the battle is over? Webster travels the world to find this out. His opening chapter where he helps dig up artillery shells from the battlefields of the First World War, a harvest of iron almost a century old that has no end in sight. It doesn’t get any easier from there and it’s as good an argument as any that the destructiveness of war cannot be contained. 

The World Without Us - Alan Weisman

How long would it take for what we’ve built to disappear if we suddenly did? If Thanos did his snap twice and we all were gone, how long would our house last? Our bridges? Our monuments? This is a very meditative book is at once depressing and oddly hopeful. I didn’t finish the book with a sense of dread but rather a sense of appreciation for what we’ve built and the knowledge that everything is reversible given time.

For him, the Cosmic Christ is the spirit that is embedded in—and makes up—everything in the universe, and Jesus is the embodied version of that spirit that we can fall in love with and relate to. (Their simultaneous distinctness and oneness can be difficult for an outsider to grasp; Rohr describes “The Universal Christ” as a sequel to “The Divine Dance,” his book about the mysteries of the Trinity.) He uses many of the same verses as the early Franciscans to support his claims. “Christ’s much larger, universe-spanning role was described quite clearly in—and always in the first chapters of—John’s Gospel, Colossians, Ephesians, Hebrews, and 1 John, and shortly thereafter in the writings of the early Eastern fathers,” he writes. He believes that, after the schism between the Eastern and Western Churches, in 1054 A.D., the Eastern Church held onto a more expansive vision of Christ, but the Western Church increasingly focussed on Jesus the man. “We gradually limited the Divine Presence to the single body of Jesus, when perhaps it is as ubiquitous as light itself—and uncircumscribable by human boundaries.” The notion of Jesus as a god-king—wearing a golden crown and seated on a throne—was pushed by political rulers, who used it to justify their own power, but it limited our understanding of divinity. “It was like trying to see the universe with a too-small telescope,” Rohr writes. One of the benefits of Rohr’s work is its attempt at radical inclusivity. “Jesus without worship of Christ invariably becomes a time- and culture-bound religion, often ethnic or even implicitly racist, which excludes much of humanity from God’s embrace,” he writes. According to his teachings, you don’t have to follow Jesus or practice the tenets of any formal religion to come by salvation, you just have to “fall in love with the divine presence, under whatever name.” For young people who have become disillusioned with the conservative churches of their childhood—which preached Christianity’s supremacy over other religions and taught that nonbelievers would go to Hell—his message is especially welcome. Many progressive schools of Christianity teach that non-Christians can go to Heaven, but the idea of the Universal Christ allows Rohr to make a robust argument based on a version of orthodoxy, rather than on a vague sense of egalitarianism. His followers appreciate his scriptural rigor. “He’s not coming in and saying, ‘I saw a daisy, now everybody love each other,’ ” Tim Shriver, a longtime student of Rohr’s and the chairman of the Special Olympics, told me. “He’s trying to create a new ur-understanding of religion that isn’t bound by separation, superiority, and fighting.”

Dr. Mehmet Oz at “The World Economic Forum” in Davos, Switzerland, I spent some time with Tim Shriver, head of the Special Olympics, and Jon Kabat-Zinn, worldwide leader of mindfulness. While their expertise is not in traditional finance or economics, the advice of these two is crucial to our leaders as they develop solutions to govern the world.

For half a century, the Special Olympics have been empowering athletes and changing perceptions across the globe.

Fifty years ago, Eunice Kennedy Shriver had the idea to transform the lives of people with intellectual disabilities through the joy of sports. “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me brave in the attempt,” Shriver told a small crowd at the inaugural international games in 1968.

Since then, her words have served as the Special Olympics athlete oath, inspiring courage in more than five million athletes from 172 countries competing in the games.
