READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that the oldest Empire of which we have definitive evidence was The Akkadian Empire in the Middle East area; the king was King Sargon, who boasted that he'd conquered the entire world (2250 BC).  So it continued for almost 2,000 years; some "kings of the world" showed some compassion for their conquered peoples and their cultures.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says I should launch a blog, and that it should be specifically FOR BECOMING A WRITER.  He gets into the nuts and bolts of how to do it; it's a fast-changing world (i.e., being a writer today, "on-line").  He says a blog will be a first step to make a connection between me and the rest of the world who might want to read what I write.

Read for 30 minutes in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He describes the events leading up to his win in the Iowa caucus; he debated and competed with Hillary Clinton, but the "best" for him, the thing that made him cry, was what he achieved in the pre-caucus rallying:  a true cross section of the America he longed for:  old and young, male and female, all there to support his ideal:  a true unification of the spirits of Americans as we strive for a better Union.  That makes ME cry, too.

Read for 12 more pages in THE SONG OF ACHILLES by Madeline Miller.
