In the Book Pile
L.L. here, thinking about books.
Recently, my friend Bradley J. Moore expressed mild surprise that I'd just bought a business book, and I tweeted in response that I'm actually an avid reader of business and social media books. I'm guessing Bradley was surprised because, as Dan King (smilingly) put it the other day, he thought I was mostly "the poetry chick."
It's true that I'm still making my way through How to Read a Poem: And Fall in Love with Poetry. Yet if you were to look at my book pile right now, this is what you'd see:
The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business
Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up
The Next Level
Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies
Found Art: Discovering Beauty in Foreign Places
God in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art (Cultural Exegesis)
Mirror of the World: A New History of Art
The Mystery of the Cross: Bringing Ancient Christian Images to Life
Naturally, I'm wondering about you. What books are in your pile? Would any of them surprise us? We'd love to see.

Daily Reflection From Laity Lodge
Beauty as a Signpost to God, Part 2
The fact that we can perceive things as beautiful, I believe, points to the existence of a God who loves beauty and created us in his own image. I talked about this in yesterday's reflection. Yet... Read More +
