Right now I'm reading a fascinating little book called "The Art of Friendship : 70 simple rules for making meaningful connections." It's been quite interesting actually, and I would recommend it as a decent read. A fair amount of it I think we all know, at least unconsciously. But this little book (It's really short.) manages to express the techniques that we generally follow without knowing in a way that is quite applicable in your life. There are a couple points I might disagree on, but mostly just out of personal preference. Due to the copyright, I'm not really allowed to share any of it online, other than perhaps one of the qoutes.
"Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead."
I thought that was interesting, especially after some of my more recent conversations. . .
Anyway, I hope you guys are ready to be my test subjects. = P
Oh! And on a side note, I've also been greatly enjoying another recent literary excursion: "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" Very creative, since it keeps most of Jane Austen's manuscript. And it's definitely a lot more interesting.

Seventy simple rules? Anything with seventy rules can't be simple. I think even Chess doesn't have seventy rules.
ReplyDeleteStill, it's good you're enjoying it.
