Of all the stories in the book I liked Ski Bums the most be cause that is the one I can best identify with. I can not tell you how many times my husband and I talk about opening our own business. We know that owning a business is way more work than working for someone else and just putting your time in and going home, but there is something about knowing that its yours and worth the work and headache. We have dreamed about all kinds of different business that we could open but I dont ever really think that any thing will come of it.
As far as what I learned from the book, I have learned that you do not have to be a very good writer to get published. I hated this book. I can not believe that someone would publish a book about a bunch of people with no direction, I know plenty of people who could fit into this book and believe me their lives are not intresting enough to write about .... and I am including myself. The majority of the people in this book (not all) have had to choose between a job they hate but make huge amounts of money at, or a job that they would rater have but doesnt pay what they are used to... well boo hoo I dont care. If I were Po I would have left everyone out that didnt make a change for the better, when you read a self help book what good does it do you to know that most people fail at the change they attempt? I am sorry I didnt get something out of this book but it was painful to read, and I usually love to read maybe this just isnt my topic? I did not think that I would like writing a blog but I think I did. Even though I do not think anything in my life or anything I have to say is intresting enough to write about (and I do not think anyone will really read this) I have enjoyed venting on my blog.Who knows maybe I will keep it up after the class is over?
