Can a Man Be More Excited About a Book?

I’ve been wanting to read this since I was a teenager.  Good fortune has landed it into my possession.  I’m amazed the girl I got it from had this diamond among her for years and never cracked it.  It is killing me to study for the Bar with this thing staring at me.

 

Bar Tally:  115 Hours.

Polyphail Sleep & Lying

Well, Day 2 turned out to be something of a failure.  I woke up at 0630 according to the plan, but found it to be my first night in a month where I’d slept without any distractions.  I confess my weakness.  I shall start again tomorrow.

I just read Lying by Sam Harris.  It’s a pretty straightforward treatise against lying, to include “white” lies.  It’s not horribly informative, but it is highly thought provoking.  I consider myself the most honest person I’ve ever known, but I will concede to my share of white lies.  Honestly, while it seemed interesting, what sold me was a positive review by Neil deGrasse Tyson.  I’m glad I took the review to heart.  The book is well worth the $3 just to see the fallout that comes from the fact that I’m going to give absolute honesty a go for a month.  Get yourself a copy at http://www.samharris.org/site/full_text/lying/
