readin'

I just paid $41 in total for books. Books I'm not required to read for any particular reason. This is the first time I've ever paid for books. I actually used to go to the library A LOT when I was in elementary. Like, every other day. I swore off reading at an early age because I was in a reading contest that I used to win every year and some girl

How to Win Friends and Influence people is full of some very opbvious information HOWEVER it is helpful in REMINDING you of things.

The one thing I learned from that book is that when in line for something important, try to get into a dudes line. Opposite sexes are more likely to help a person.

I sometimes think back to that book though, even though it's so obvious, when needing to talk to bosses and things.

Yeah, I read the Wiki article on the book before I bought it. And like you said, it's just for a reminder basically.

Really? I didn't know you were interested in the music biz at all. Someone on this awesome music industry board I posted on recommended it, so I'm giving it a shot. Everyone on that board is usually pretty smart.

John read Tour Smart, he gave it a good review, even if it was useless I like reading about touring and things relating to touring.

i need to pick up some new books as well. the last time i actually sat down and really read one was on the flight from philly to key west back in june.

i used to do the reading contest thing too in elementary school. it was always a competition between me and this girl rachel. she was the teacher's pet. i remember one time our 2nd grade teacher was showing off books she was recommending for a class project and she made some comment that a particularly long book would be perfect for rachel. since i got to pick mine first i took that book. i don't remember anything else about that scenario, but yeah.
