There's something quite interesting about having worked at a bookstore. Spending so much time there a few years ago, I looked at tons of books that I thought would be interesting to read.
However, at that time, the number of books I wanted to read far exceeded the available resources I had to get them. So, of course, I forgot most of the books that interested me back then.
Now, I've noticed an interesting trend. Books I've lately been recommended are books that I originally wanted to read, or have lead me to them. The book "Yes Man" by Danny Wallace lead me to a book called "Join Me," in which the author puts an advert in the paper saying only "join me." People did.
Another book is "Honeymoon with My Brother." The author's fiance leaves him a few days before the wedding. Everything from the wedding to the honeymoon is paid for already, so instead of letting it go to waste, he takes his brother along to what would have been the honeymoon. They like the vacation so much they give up their jobs and keep on traveling for the next two years.
Not a bad gig if you can get it.
