I think a good way to return is with a book synopsis. My recent conquest is Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer. If you’re into researched topics and breaking things down into parts then this book is for you. Lehrer criss crosses into music, theater, science, business, and sports to figure out how creativity […]
Hello everybody! It’s now the tail end of Monday (hopefully) and to celebrate I have a new reading list for the fall and winter months. For the first go round of A&E’s reading list, I was able to devour 4 out of 9 books. Not bad, but I can do better though. Since it’s still […]

This weekend I finally had the chance to go pick up some books I’ve been way overdue in reading. Hey Whipple Squeeze This and The Advertising Concept Book have been on my list for months now. Unfortunately, Barnes & Noble failed me and did not have the Advertising Concept Book in stock. Is it me […]
