My current meal:
- Protein: Rumors of God, Tyson and Whitehead. Brad Lomenick sent me this book and I love/hate him for it. I’d let you borrow it, but considering I highlighted and underlined personal notes of all my deficiencies on almost every page, you’ll have to get your own copy. There is nothing particularly new in content or luxurious in prose, but the layout is convicting and the narrative is honest, poignant, and real. Every chapter I finish I want to chuck the book at the wall and stick my fingers in my ears while screaming Lalalalalalalala, I can’t hear you God! [I have issues.]
- Carbohydrates: Making Ideas Happen, Belsky. If you are creative and have a hard time executing vision, this book is made for you. Scott basically obliterates the Creatives excuse to lollygag and dream rather than execute and perform. Brilliant. If I was Siskel&Ebert, I’d give it two thumbs up. [RIP Ebert]
- Sugar: Bossypants, Tina Fey. The book is a random collection of her personal stories that pretty much make me feel we could be friends. We would be friends… if I was funny, lived in New York, and worked for Saturday Night Live. It was too fast of a read. I finished it in about two days and wish it lasted for two weeks.
I’m 90% with my meat and potatoes reading list. Any suggestions? Furthermore, are you consuming a well-balanced reading diet?
for some reason i can’t read the 14 other comments…but i really enjoy this balanced reading diet since i read a bunch of books simultaneously and this past month has been overwhelmingly sugary.
Glad I’m not the only one….mine is really bad….I start like 10 different books within the same week or so and maybe actually finish 3 out of the 10. Sometimes lose interest, others time will pick them up later on.
