It's a little tedious at times, though maybe something happened in translation. I also have Anna Karenina and didn't know which to read first. Has anyone read war and peace, and does it "ramp up" in flow and excitement after around 3-400? I have never read War and Peace but I always hear that it is far more difficult than Anna Karenina. AK focuses on a few families and is more intimate, while W&P is supposedly far more sprawling and "epic". BTW Anna Karenina tops Greatest Novel lists more often than any other book, I believe. | ||

![[image loading]](http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/5200/manssearchformeaning.jpg) It's a 1946 book that partly deals with the holocaust. It doesn't elaborate on the gory details of the holocaust, but rather asks what allows man to carry on in the most extreme situations. It's a fairly quick read, I'm half-way through so far, and so far it's quite powerful. ![[image loading]](http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0979054400.01._SX220_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) Initially, it felt a little silly to be reading about a man's self-help type of book, but it's been great so far. I didn't realize it, but there's quite a few books that deal with this subject. The topic's in line with the Nice Guy syndrome that some modern men face. The author establishes that some men these days are affected too much by the feminist movement. The fathers are often times working all day and boys aren't receiving the fathering that they need. Instead, the boys are mothered to a point where men are taught to uphold feminine values and constantly seek validation from women. The book provides tools and emphasizes the importance of really establishing his N.U.T.s, which is an acronym for Non-negotiable, Unalterable Terms. Interesting stuff. | ||

On February 23, 2010, Jeff Garlin released his first book, My Footprint: Carrying the Weight of the World, a memoir which documents his journey to lessen both his physical and carbon footprint. lol I wonder if he realizes that by losing weight his carbon footprint will be bigger since he will live a lot longer and use a lot more resources. | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/enKhJ.jpg) Just finished. It's absolutely amazing, and a great look into the true nature of humans. McDougall is a very gifted storyteller, and he is very good about citing sources and studies instead of injecting his own opinion all the time. | ||
