Quick Lit: December 2014
The Happiness of Pursuit
First of all, isn’t that the best title ever? This book was fascinating. It tells the stories of many people who found and followed their own quests. It includes everything from not speaking for 17 years to visiting every country on the planet to craft projects. It was inspirational for the goal-setter in me and even if checking things off a list is not your cup of tea, I bet you’d find it interesting as well.
Yes, Please
Loved:
— Encouragement to stick with goals. A common theme throughout the book is that there is no such thing as an overnight success. It may seem like it happens for others overnight, but that’s only because we don’t see the years they have been plugging away without any recognition.
— Reading Amy’s story. She’s a fantastic writer and tells her story in her hilarious voice.
–Cameo appearances from Amy’s parents and Seth Meyers. So fun!
Didn’t Love:
— Language. It’s very bad.
— Explicit moments. I skipped a few pages here and there.
