read a book a week (read all 5 entries…)
6th Week 1 week ago

I am so glad I made this a goal. By thinking about it, I am more likely to accomplish. I have already finished 2 book since my last post – and they were both amazing. First, I read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. When the book is about following one’s dream and seeing life as an amazing journey – how could it not be great? Also, I felt the need to read something by the brilliant Ayn Rand, and since Atlas Struggled looked a little too daunting, I opted for the shorter volume, Anthem, which is a celebration of individuality and a warning against extreme collectivism. I enjoyed it greatly – sort of the optimistic version of 1984. Read both.

be inspired every day
a work in progress 1 week ago

I considered making daily/weekly entries under this note, but I thought that would soon become monotonous (no offense if you are doing it…). I am, however, determined to be inspired and I think to do that I have to let the world in. With so many people in my life and the world at my fingertips and eyes that can see the beauty of creation (both God’s and man’s), why shouldn’t I be inspired?

3 Reasons to have such a big library 1 week ago

1: 1000 isn’t enough
2: I can lend out the books I recommend
3: I love books and should have a physical representation of that love
