After suffering a massive and surprise migraine for about a day and a half I found myself on the mend and decided that I’d pour my energy into a book. However, The Art of War was hardly what I was in the mood for so I opened another, lighter book I’d recently acquired.

Or so I thought.

Ben Lerner was a professor of mine in college and he always pushed me to push myself further. I won’t get into details here and now (though I’d love to eventually recount all of the useful lessons he taught me during those days) but I will say that reading his words is anything far from “light”.

Only two parts in so far I am bouncing begin scratching my head in confusion, reading sentences repeatedly, laughing out loud, and highlighting a variety of lines due to their powerful inspiration.

I find that this book, in particular, is one that I’ll be constantly revisiting and rereading often, as there is just so much going on beneath the surface.

Have you read it? If so, let me know in the comments and tell me how you’ve interpreted it.
