On to the next one!!

Out There: The Government's Secret Quest for ExtraterrestrialsWell, I finally finished the consulting book. At the end, I must admit that it did have some basic good career information whether you are in consulting or not.

The next book is called"Out There" and it is a book about UFO's. Talk about going from one extreme to the other. I am very excited about reading it because I think it will not be as difficult to "trudge" through.

New books!!! Sort of...

Well, due to the fact that i am over halfway through with my consulting book, I have checked out the next two books that are in the catalog. Actually there is one in-between and it is checked out, but I have requested it for when they have finished.
The two new books are: Out there and In search of bigfoot. I must admit I think aliens and bigfoot are going to be alot more interesting that starting a consulting business. However, they probably won't be as useful as the other book

Halfway There

Well currrently I am halfway though my first book. It is on consulting and has great ideas, however, I am on the section on marketing and since it was written in 2002 some of the adverstising are a little out of date but overall I am enjoying it.  If I had a skill that were transferrable this would be a great resource for me.

Conundrum

Well, I am almost halfway finished with my first book. The conundrum I am having is that I just signed up for the Johnson City Public Library's summer reading program for adults. To participate in that I have to read books from their library.  They gave me a really cool starfish bookmark when I signed up.
What to do? What to do?
I really don't want to go out of order on the Jonesborough list though, but can I read THAT MUCH in one summer. Fortunately, the JCPL counts audiobooks in their reading programs so I will at least get some done that way.
Have a great day and remember "It all works out in the end. If it isn't working out, it isn't the end."

Another day another 10 pages

I don't know if I am enjoying this book as much as I hope but I will say that if I were going to go into the consulting business it would be very helpful. Right now I am on the section about creating a business. It is something I know nothing about but probably need to.

So far...

I was reading the consulting book and realized that I don't think I want to become a consultant. I was about to put the book up and then realized that the point was to Read the book. Not Agree with the book.
I am also reading my textbooks plus a couple of "just for fun" books so you can see, I kinda read out right now.

It begins

Today I have decided to embarque on a new adventure. I am going to try to read all the books in the stacks of my local library. I am starting off with the Jonesborough Library. It is what I consider a "boutique" library. A little smaller but the information is easier to find and usually more current. Plus, its local. :-)

I am starting with the non-fiction section. I am not doing the oversized or spanish books or the books for those taking literacy classes. May at the end of the experiment I will go back to those.

The first book is Consulting: the business that gerenates mega dollars and puts you in control of your finacial future. I hope it goes well. I have been wanting to do this for a while and what better time that when I am begining my summer break.
