Since I have quit Facebook I have read 2 books and am a third. I’m quite pleased with my progress and after I finish the book I’m on now, I plan on picking up some technical book on SharePoint or Access. I need to educate myself on these things for work purposes.
I just finished 
which was pretty darn good and a quick read. I started with some quick hit books to get my brain repathed. After watching a PBS show , “Digital Nation” that directly lead to my quitting FB and recommitting to read again I thought it better to jump in with some easier reading.
“Generation A” was good. What’s not to like about a little sex, drugs, a girl with Tourette’s and a Drug company conspiracy. Living in the shadow of Astra Zeneca the story had more relevance. Anyone can knock this book out in a week easy. Apparently the drug maker had created a drug called “Solon”. The drug made you live in the now and forget the future. It made you live day to day and not care about anything else or anyone. It made you live life “solo” and almost in “sol”itude. Solon was a highly addictive drug that once taken you could not live with out.
The book I started right after this one last night is
. Since I’m in marketing I wanted to pick up something that would loosely have me relate to work. So far it isn’t too bad. Nothing monumental or heavy, but I’m reading it for insight really. I wanted to get a flavor for what high level people think about and their perspectives.
What are you reading?
Brian Fagan’s The Great Warming on the Medieval Warm Period. A lot of climate change deniers are trumpeting the fact that the world was actually warmer during that period than it is now. Fagan goes back and shows how that particular piece of climate change devastated MesoAmerican civilizations, unleashed the Mongols when the Steppe gradient changed, and generally wrecked havoc across the globe.
