I found my copy of A Year's work in Lebowski Studies. Obviously, you're not a golfer.

I'm reading "The Compassionate Conservative" by J. Jacobs, he was the founder of the company I work for. I figure if I can spout off some of the stuff in his book to the higher ups it will get me kudos.

He has some interesting points, but other parts of the book are pretty painful to read. May only read a few more chapters.

got through 1/3 of Daniel Goleman's new book "Focus:The hidden driver of excellence".. He is the author of Emotional Intelligence released sometime in the 90s.. very interesting book. It describes how one cognitive function is so important in our lives: Attention.

I cant get enough of these Psychology/Science books.

Recently finished Good Hope Road...Meh. Now I'm reading a Howard Hughes bio. Can't remember the title, but so far it's a little confusing with all the people who are involved.


On another note, does anyone have any rec's for good books about grunge/the Seattle music scene in the 90s?

Just started reading Profiles in Audacity. Basically it's about significant historical figures who made critical/significant decisions. Not completely what I expected, but I'm also less than a dozen pages in.
