CURRENT READING


If I had a machine gun that delivered books, I’d load up a few clips of these and blast away like Rambo Librarian. It would be a nice machine gun, not the killin’ kind.  The books would land softly on porches and sofas. There’s something inspiring and funny on pretty much every page.

 “An abiding stereotype of creativity is that it turns people crazy. I disagree: Not expressing creativity turns people crazy. (“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don’t bring forth what is within you, what you don’t bring forth will destroy you.”—Gospel of Thomas.)” 
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
