Working in a bookstore and taking long bus rides assures one thing: I read lots of books now. I probably average a book per week. I remember struggling to get through one book every few months when I worked at the tv station. If you don’t count the shitload of comics & graphic novels and the books I have forgotten, here is the list of books I have read cover-to-cover this year:<\/p>\n
Tao Te Ching<\/em>-Lao Tzu Right now I am reading No-Budget Digital Filmmaking<\/em> by Chuck Gloman to be followed by One River<\/em> by Wade Davis (who wrote the awesome Serpent and the Rainbow<\/em> I read last year). I’m trolling through Paradise Lost<\/em>-Milton off and on as the year progresses.
