So most of you know that I am an avid reading of both short form and long form writing, it mainly goes back to my days as a journalist and reading great stories was a natural way for me to improve on my craft.I read now much more for enjoyment and to educate myself on issus, trends and other news. Part of the new efforts of this blog will be a weekly feature focusing on grea articles I have found and am reading or have read as well as highlighting a great book or two.
So without any further ado here is this week's installent.
GQ released a great story today about the cover-up and aftermath of a shooting at car wash owned by Marvin Harrison ("former" NFL player). I won't give the artivle too much prose here other than to simply say it is a must read:
I sarted kayaking last summer for the first time and feel in love with it. Still at the point where I am renting kayaks when I go out on area rivers for float trips but I hope to own one soon. The NY Times Sunday Travel section had a great piece on kayaking along the Mississippi river on a stretch that is practically in my backyard. A touching piece about the bonding of the reporter and his teenage son during the trip too.
The book I am currently reading (and I suspect will have finished by the weekend), is a great look at the history and future of Google. Of course professionally his is a company I rely greatly on for our business, but even if you aren't the digital world you should read this just to learn more about a company that I think will be sure to dominate the corporate landscape for years to come.
Please feel free to pass on any recomedations you might have as well.
