I Capture the Castle

A hardcover edition of this book is not to be found in bookstores for love nor money. And I have tried. I have also attempted to spread the joy this book brings by lending it to friends, but I have found that they tend to keep them.

My advice is to buy a few softcovers (gorgeously designed) to "lend" to friends, and keep this old, hardcover, original edition for yourself. Snap it up; it's the first one I've seen.

I just finished The Hippie Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder & Other Mountains: How JanSport Makes It Happen and I'm inspired. The attractiveness of their attitude, the draw of their adventurousness, and the coolness of their hippie start-up are surpassed only by their quality and creativity. In those, they leave everyone else in the dust.
I so want a piece of that.

Love is a Mix Tape

Incredible book. Love is a Mix Tape is about actually finding true love, and losing it too early. It hooked me as an insight to what we crave and kept me reading and crying as a sensitive account by a man who has lived and loved, "one song at a time."
