What I Read This Week: August 23, 2013
About What I Read This Week: I read a lot. All the time. Too much. I’d like to be held accountable. During my day-to-day, I keep a Google doc that I update with an article name, URL, and a quote of everything I read or watch. I blog the list every Friday.
Where does the time go? My minutes march off but where do they go? It is appropriate that with more internet reading, my books and tv watching went down this week. Or was I just busy? Out of the house? Focused on other things? I don’t know why, but this is the result.
