I'm not a believer of TEOTWAWKI.

Seth Godin
Portfolio Hardcover, 2010
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
basically - you have to follow your heart - otherwise, what's really the point of all of this? This book reminds me in a way of Live Like A Fruit Fly (also on amazon)- a phenomenal book about finding your passion and following it blindly (well, almost blindly)

Leonard Maltin's 151 Best Movies You've Never Seen
Leonard Maltin
HarperStudio, 2010
"You make up your own truth." - Memento
I sat down expecting to quickly skim this book and I read every word.
It shouldn't by now, but it always surprises me when I realize how good a film critic and historian (as opposed to a thumbs-up thumbs down reviewer) Leonard Maltin is. Lately, the film writers I ...
