Book Recommendation: Emotional Intelligence 2.0
When I first started my new job at the end of December, I had some idea what I was getting into but not completely the full picture. I couldn’t have been happier with my decision now almost three months into this job because while every job has issues, this current one really tries to not

Book Recommendation: The Tao of Willie
I’ve read enough of his book to definitely recommend it. He speaks about his family upbringing and how this influenced his music. He speaks about his current situation at the time it was written when he was in his 70s and speaks about his transformations over the years. He includes quips, quotes, lyrics, mantras, and

Book Recommendation: Spies, Lies, and Traitors: The Story of Espionage Through the Ages
This book doesn’t really need explanation because the title says it all. The act and career of espionage spans the world. It began during the ancient times of Moses, Julius Caesar, and Sun Tzu and filters into Renaissance Europe with Marco Polo and Francis Walsingham. Turning to the early days of the United States, George

Book Recommendation: If This Isn’t Nice, What Is?
With everything going on in the world and the midterm elections on the horizon in the U.S., this book was exactly what I needed to laugh, ponder, and get away from the realities of life. It’s not that Kurt Vonnegut is the writer you go to for inspiration and yet as you’re reading it, at

September Writing Quotes
I recently picked up a book that I have yet to start because I’m busy with trying to write, read, color, and other interests of mine. You can pick it up at Barnes and Noble, but this is where I got these quotes.

Here It Is, Finally! My First Novel!
As promised here is my first novel that took way too long to write, rewrite, and rewrite again! I’m currently resuming my writing of my second novel idea and attempting to finish the first draft by the end of this year. Time will tell. Feel free to leave a review on Amazon if you read

Book Recommendation: I Wear The Black Hat

Book Recommendation: Capitalism
Quote by Karl Marx “Capital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.” Publication Date: June 15, 2005 Publisher: Icon Books Ltd Page Number: 176 There is a more

Book Recommendation: Think Like a Freak
Publication Date: 2015 Publisher: Penguin Books Page Number: 286 I have read all their other books in a short amount of time. Their books are that engaging. This one is too and although there is some repeat from past books, it is definitely worthy of your time. The authors, Levitt and Dubner, speak of their

Book Recommendation: Best of the Best American Poetry
Publication Date: April 9, 2013 Publisher: Scribner; Anniversary edition Page Number: 352 I had this urge to read more contemporary poetry. Therefore, I invested in this book as I also wanted to read poems by varied poets. This 25th edition serves as a change of times when it was published in 2013. Long gone are

Journal Entry Type #50: What are Possessions? How Many Do You Need?
When I visited my parents a few years back and got the regular flu, I was never able to go through my past books and recommend some of them. I am able to do it now because my parents are moving houses (surprisingly moving into a bigger not smaller one) and must get rid of

Book Recommendation: Political Philososphy
Publication Date: December 1, 2012 Publisher: Icon Books Ltd Page Number: 173 So what is political philosophy? It is the study of a variety of topics such as the obvious politics and philosophy. These philosophers ask questions about individual rights in communities, authority and enforcement of laws, government protection and involvement, and more. The two

Book Recommendation: Star to Star
Publisher: Michael O’Mara (August 3, 2017) Page Number: 64 As if I don’t have enough to do with my writing, coloring, reading, and exercising, I also like to buy books I will probably never use. Since I’ve gotten older, my eyesight has gotten even worse, and before all the numbers look the same, I better
