Rock On: An Office Power Ballad
04.16.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsWhen I first heard about Dan Kennedy’s book Rock On: An Office Power Ballad, it seemed like something that would be right up my alley, so I immediately ran out to my local bookstore and picked up a copy. Not that I needed another book to throw into the reading queue, but it sounded like [...]

Lost and J. W. Dunne’s An Experiment with Time
If you’ve been keeping up with Lost so far this season, I hope you were as intrigued as I was by the most recent episode, “The Constant”.

Housekeeping vs. The Dirt
Reading as a hobby is something that most people from younger generations probably can’t quite comprehend. With video games, TV, DVDs and the internet to choose from, why would anyone want to sit down by themselves and try to concentrate on a book? I can see how torturous it must seem.
