And there you have it, thirteen books that would change your life but you’ll never read. Now, because creation doesn’t happen in a vacuum, or not as we experience it, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the inspiration for this post.
I tend to listen to one of three things when driving around town in my truck, sports radio, NPR or the iPod, which isn’t one thing but many, kinda like humanity. Last Friday I was consuming a little sports talk and they had a clever bit going that consisted of people phoning in with fictitious book titles from anyone. For example, “The Gentle Touch of a Leader by Bill Parcells.” Being sports radio most of the book titles were sports related and being the South most of those were SEC related but I thought it was a clever idea and jotted down a couple examples at a red light. Just now getting around to posting them.
Please feel free to share your own book titles in the comments. I have no doubt the idea could spawn some great ones.

You should submit this to Digg. It’s exactly the sort of thing that could end up on the front page.
Thanks for dropping in Kristen. I’ll be honest, Digg kinda scares me. Think it has to do with wading into the comments on a few occasions and being surprised with the level of snark. It feels like people are simply waiting around for things to spit on. Maybe I should give it more of a chance? That, and I’ve never been much of a self-promoter. One the few occasions I try I always end up feeling like a used car salesman. Probably in my personality too, kinda shy, not a look at me type person. This attitude has its place. It doesn’t come naturally for me though. Suppose I could work on that. Thanks again for dropping by. Hope you’re doing great, and sorry about the Mets. That one might hurt for awhile. Maybe some solace in the fact that Mr. Wright had himself a fine year.
Most of the people on Digg are losers, I agree. I must have had my marketing hat on when I left that comment. : )
I’m over the Mets thing; I didn’t follow them too closely this year. Maybe next year. Thanks, though!
