Read This!

A couple pieces of reading that have really gotten me thinking in the past few days are:

"The Language of Work" in the July issue of Harper's magazine, written by Mark Kingwell. It is a scathing article against the capitalist insistence of working, it's creation of it's own working paradigm, and the basically doomed state of the human in the capitalist economy. Still, it's got some great insight on the difference between "being a slacker" and being "idle"; it also makes me feel better about quitting my internship. Plus, it's hilarious and well-written!

I'm reading the book "Succulent Wild Woman" by Sark. It's such an amazing piece; I've really got no way to describe it but if you've ever wondered what it's like to live fully and completely as yourself you've got to pick it up. I wish that all the women in my life would read it! And don't worry, Tonellis, it's not a "feminist" book. It's just real.

Enjoy!
