My passion rises for storytelling and somehow I've been making a career out of it, from TV now at Intel. Now I'm wising up and reading books about the wonders and techniques. Springboard storytelling was like reading what I've been experiencing inside Intel -- immovable at first, then skyrocket results when you can tell good stories that cut through the data and reliance on reason.
I don't know why libraries (bookstacks in particular) have such an intoxicating effect on me, but I love them!
Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth I picked up on my return from Italy in April 2008. I've listened to him read his previous works -- wow!
Speak like Churchill, Sound Like Lincoln just the title alone grabs me! I could use the help, and I hugely admire both people leaders.
The Opposable Mind was just finished today. This jumped out at the perfect time as I spend 2007 integrating my skills, passions and people and teams at work. This book is a bit repetitive, but describes and motivates to go beyond yes and no. Take the best of everything and shake it all about with your experience, understanding of complexity that is life, reflect and move ahead to mastery and originality in the way you think and things you do.
The Story Factor is my next book to read on the joys, power and techniques of storytelling.
On the Road to Mr. Mineo's by Barbara O'Connor: greetings-from-nowhere.blogspot.com/2012/04/on-road-to-mr...

Saturday February 27, 2010 I love that I continuously challenge myself. Sometimes this can be a curse, sometimes this can be a direction. Sometimes this means that you don't get to sleep at night because you are constantly thinking of ways to better yourself.
I took this on my break. I don't actually work in the bookstacks putting them away, I mainly work at the desk checking them in and out. In a book today I found a postcard from someone's vacation.
Tonight a concert at a local venue, tomorrow schoolwork.
An amazing book store in Halifax. We wandered in becasue the site of piles and towers of books stacked in the windows made us curious. There were towers up to the ceiling, windows cut out through books, stairs lined w/ books. There were narrow corridors and twists and turns - some you could not even get through.

If there is anything called madly in love
This is it
Irrationality is overwhelming
Every bit of logic and sense
And I know
I will never love another like I do again
[At a Book Festival, Senayan, Jakarta]
Avoiding — So I’ve been avoiding this series ever since I read the third book when it came out, which was suppose to be the end of the series, but then it wasn’t and I haven’t picked up a Cassandra Clare book since (besides rereading City of Bones last year and being really disappointed with it). I’ve just been really hesitant to reenter this world, especially with my expectations so high. My goal is to read/reread the books before the last book comes out. But who knows, maybe that won’t be the last book, again.
The British Museum Reading Room, located at the heart of the Great Court, was designed by Sydney Smirke and opened in 1857 to house the growing library of the British Museum. Constructed of cast iron, concrete, and a papier-mâché dome inspired by the Pantheon, the room’s circular design accommodated thousands of books and readers, with surrounding iron bookstacks and forty kilometers of shelving. It served as the principal reading room of the British Library until the collection relocated to St Pancras in 1997. After restoration, the Reading Room reopened in 2000 for general visitors, later hosting major exhibitions from 2007 to 2013 before closing for archival use until reopening in 2023.
The British Museum, located in Bloomsbury, London, was established in 1753 and opened in 1759 as the world’s first national public museum. Originally housed in Montagu House, it now occupies a grand neoclassical building designed by Sir Robert Smirke, constructed between 1823 and 1852 on the same site. The museum’s encyclopedic collection of over eight million objects spans over two million years of human history, with major highlights including the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, and the Sutton Hoo treasures--many of which remain the subject of ongoing repatriation discussions.
