I have a few books on my reading list:

  • Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip Heath & Dan Heath - The reason why I got this one was because as a guy that wants to pursue a marketing career, I'm curious as to what kinds of things made for really good memorable ideas and how to get them to work with people. I'm about 1/3 of the way through it, but I've been kind of busy with other stuff lately.
  • Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman - Like the one above, this one delves further into human thinking, which again, might be helpful for career-related stuff.
  • Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan - This is mainly a fantasy book I wanted to jump into to keep the wheels in motion for liking fantasy books and trying to come up with inspiration when I plan out my own stories. I started it and it has been pretty good, but I still have quite a ways to go with it. I wanted to get through the first two books on this list.
  • Rip the Page: Adventures in Creative Writing - by Karen Benke. This was a birthday gift from my sister, and it's stuffed with fun, goofy, and thought-spurring creative writing exercises. I haven't tried any yet, but it seems like fun.
  • The Ryrie Study Bible - Another birthday gift from my sister. I have read the Bible before and have taken a few college classes with it, but this seems like a good refresher and delves deeper into Biblical understanding and reflection.


So, there's my list for all those who are curious. But yeah, I'd have to say that quote is right, and it does illustrate where the person's pursuit for knowledge and experience is driving toward, which gives others the insight as to where their passions are and what they want to learn.
