The Men's Club.

I’m currently reading The Men's Club by the late American writer Mr. Leonard Michaels. He only wrote two novels, one of which being The Men's Club, which came out in 1981. It’s a story about a group of strangers who meet up and form a club, where they discuss their problems, and their past life experiences. It’s hilarious. The type size is big and the leading is large so its 192 pages can be read quickly.

Seven men, friends and strangers, gather in a house in Berkeley. They intend to start a men’s club, the purpose of which isn’t immediately clear to any of them; but very quickly they discover a powerful and passionate desire to talk. First published in 1981,The Men’s Club is a scathing, pitying, absurdly dark and funny novel about manhood in the age of therapy. “The climax is fitting, horrific, and wonderfully droll” (The New York Times Book Review).

Bookmark II.

Its amazing how designers are reinventing conventional, mundane items such as bookmarks. Whats even more amazing is that nobody has followed through with this idea before. It's just a fancy rubber band. Make one at home.

For those who still read books Bookmark II is a colorful rubber band that wraps around a book with an indicator arrow that shows you the last line you were reading

Book Guide - Freakonomics

 

Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything is a 2005 non-fiction book by University of Chicago economistSteven Levitt and New York Times journalist Stephen J. Dubner. The book has been described as melding pop culture with economics.[2] As of 2008, it has sold over 3 million copies worldwide.

A very unique book, one which keeps throwing interesting information at you right from the beginning of chapter one titled, What Do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers Have in Common?

Good Read, 8/10
