15. Writing About Your Life – William Zinsser
A good course in memoir writing, and an interesting read with his own work used as great examples.
16. The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists – Neil Strauss
I was intrigued by the whole idea of this subculture of socially inept guys who transform themselves into successful pickup artists, and it started out interesting, but I got bored about halfway through.
It took me forever to finish that last book, and I need to find a good book to read next.
We booked our flight yesterday. Flying into Prague 9/14 for three nights, then to Vienna for three nights, and finally to Budapest for three nights before flying back 9/24.
I booked our hotel in Prague using my Hilton points. We have enough points combined for either Vienna or Budapest, but haven’t decided where to use them. That will leave only three hotel nights we actually have to pay for, which makes me very happy!
