How not to read a book and why you shouldn’t
Tongue-in-cheek recommendations on how to read a book that made someone call me a tool on Reddit.
The thankfully unpleasant Cordwainer Smith
My attempt at spending an afternoon reading a pleasantly diverting book.
The Invisible Bookshelf
A link to instructions on making a super-cool floating bookshelf of wonder.
Wisdom from the Batcave
Speaking of super-cool, have I mentioned that I think Rabbi Cary Friedman is the coolest man on earth? I think he is.
Chicken Soup for the Conservative American Soul
I recommend gambling on Bennett’s Book of Virtue. My son loves it. That’s all the recommendation I need.

What’s a “Reddit”?
Registered users can submit news stories and blog posts to Reddit.com, vote on them, and comment on them. The more votes a story receives the better it ranks in Reddit. Useful if you’re browsing around looking for something interesting to read.I usually make a point of scanning the top three Web 2.0/Social Bookmarking sites (sites like Reddit) once daily by popping over to popurls.com. It helps one keep up with what our new masters, the computer geeks, think is interesting.Anyway, for a vain experiment I submitted a story to Reddit. A post I wrote (considered super lame behaviour on Reddit). I received one comment and one vote down. And I was called a “tool”. My very first internet insult!Does anyone think I should print out the comment and frame it or something?
Hang it in the bathroom.
