...now I'm SOMEBODY!
Anyhow after reading through the comments on the books by genre thread I saw a few really good suggestions. For some background I'm awesome at buying books but terrible at actually reading them..a genius idea dawned upon me - get a library card!
Had the day off yesterday to go fishing with a buddy but that fell apart the night prior. Kept the day off and had one of the most relaxing days I've had in a long time (long trail run, sauna, ice bath, stretching, acupressure mat, spun a bunch of vinyl, and the LIBRARY). Dedicated a few hours to reading. It was pretty great. Started with Man's Search for Meaning by Frankl (tip of the hat to Midwestroadie and a few others who mentioned this one).
First library card I have had since...I don't even know.
There should be a point to this post I suppose - support/visit your local library sounds like a good one?
Another good point to tie to this post is the importance of just taking a day off to do things that relax you. Can't recall the last time I spent a day like that but will be making it a point to do one every few months or so. Feeling mentally and physically refreshed is pretty great.
