I rarely am enthusiastic about a book I read. However, a book was recommended to me that really has helped my attitude in most things. It's called The Question Behind the Question, by John G. Miller.

It's a rather short self-help motivation type book - something that even more rarely excites me. It discusses the elimination of blame and complaining by what questions you ask yourself. I've always been a person that constantly asks myself negative rhetorical questions, and this book has helped me see how that is never a good thing. In the two weeks since I've read it, my attitude and productivity at work has really increased.

I just finished "The Prince of the Magic Kingdom" by Joe Flower.

(Bump!) from February? Hmmm


Just finished Wired by Bob Woodward on the life of John Belushi. What a totally f**ked up life he lead. Facinatingly f**ked up.

Starting to read The Learners by Chip Kidd

I'm about two thirds of the way through Cormac McCarthy's The Road. It's beautifully written, but I'm dreading each turn of the page. (To say that it is bleak is an understatement.)

I bought that one, but haven't started it yet.

Princeps' Fury - book five of Jim Butcher's non-Dresden series, the Codex Alera. Liking it a lot so far.

Swann's Way. I am reading it very, very slowly.

Right now, I'm just trying to work my way through the ginormous stack of magazines I haven't gotten around to reading.

Roadie. By Jamie Smith, I hope that a few people that don't understand a bike racers life will pick this up.
It's comical and surreal at the same time. Quick read for sure. Pretty much the reality of it all.
