“And Here’s The Kicker…”

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Several days ago I picked up And here’s the kicker by Mike Sacks.  This is a book of conversations with 21 top humor writers.

There are some great names included in this book: Harold Ramis, Buck Henry, David Sedaris, Dave Barry.  This is a writer’s book, not a reader’s book.  If you want to know what these guys were thinking when they wrote some great material, this one is for you.

I’m going to piddle through it while I read other books too.  But so far this has been a valuable tool and I highly recommend it.

Shelfari to help you do some readin’

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

This past weekend I found a pretty cool site for book lovers.  It’s called Shelfari.  This is a great site for listing books you’ve read, discussing them with various groups and tracking what you want to read in the future.

Check it out, sign up, leave some comments, and read away.

I watch too many people each day sit in front of the television and leave the books on the shelves, or they don’t read at all.  Let’s all remember a brilliant quote by a fictional character named Forrest Gump, “Stupid is as stupid does.”  When you don’t read, you remain stupid!
