If you’re anything like me, you hate how much time sleeping takes up. Think of all that other stuff we could get done! I mean, think of all the extra reading and writing I could finally accomplish. Heck, I might even start updating this blog more regularly.
- To start off here’s an interesting look at the preferred writing tools of 20 famous authors. Call me predictable, but I liked Hemingway’s the best.
- Another great author sadly omitted from that last is Salinger. In this piece from the fine folks at WELL SPENTÂ they look not only at the author but his rather impeccable style as well.
- And what is a great author without books? Every man should have a library whether it’s a mindless spiral of odds and ends collected over time and spilling off bookshelves into piles along the molding or a carefully curated collection of only your favorites, here a few good lists to help you get started.
- First is Gear Patrols 100 Essential Reads, neatly broken down by genre.
- Next is an equally robust list from the fine bastion of manliness that is AoM.
- And finally a short list on 5 essential Southern books from G&G.
- Last but not least, there are many words that simply have no English equivalent. Here is a fun look 10 of those words coupled with a nice little illustration to go with them. Komorebi is definitely my favorite. Feel free to leave a comment and share which is your favorite.
