Running for Your Life: Required Reading

When it comes to writing for a blog, or writing in general, there’s an imperative that lurks unspoken.

That is the writer, as a creature of habit, not of Google algorithms, makes unconscious demands of his readers.

Call it hubris, or nerve, an unrealistic  expectation, but in all things to get the best out of something requires a little work.

It’s actually not selfish but unselfish. You know, the common good, sort of thing.

So, in that spirit, I’m asking you to read two books (or at minimum look them up on Google Nation):

“21 Lessons for the 21st Century” by Yuval Noah Harari, and

“Reporter” by Seymour Hersh

in preparation for blog posts to come.

P.S. Buy the books if you have the money. It’s part of the message.
