Read, blog, read, and blog some more. If you’re a lazy reader, chances are you’re a lazy blogger. Read books. Read e-books. Read other blogs, leave comments, engage discussions but don’t get lost in time-wasting stupid lemon eating debates.          So what are your favorite books? Disclaimer 1: The books above were cut-and-pasted from my list of Books That Don’t Suck so my Amazon associate code is embedded in the hyperlinks. This means that I will get a very small cut if you buy the books from here. I might as well make something out of these referrals so I can buy more Caramel Macchiato. Given enough coffee, I could |

Ok, so I have an honest question for you, which could have also been posted on a few of the other discussions: How are you able to consume SO much information (books and the web)?:) Seriously. Do you have some method, suggestions for the rest of us mortals? I completely agree with what you are saying. The more I'm reading, be it in cyberspace or meatspace, the more energy and worhwhile posts I have to offer. When I'm not, it just feels dead. |

Just substitute the words “blog” for “write,” and “blogger” for “writer.” Stephen King has a very simple formula for learning to write well: “Read four hours a day and write four hours a day. If you cannot find the time for that, you can't expect to become a good writer.”Of course, this is not everyone, only those who are passionate enough to take this hyper-evolving artform to the next level. But it's still a great act to follow. |

These are all the books that I've read recently that don't suck: I would have added The Bhagavad Gita, but I can only support about a third of that book (if that!). The rest seems to be pretty fundamentalist pre-postconventional. Granted, a couple of the books I listed above could not be considered integral, they can at least be viewed through an integral lense and interpreted better than what might be conventionally done. |
