Knowledge
What is knowledge?
Once we gain knowledge what do we do with it?
Book are tools for learning, for sharing, for gaining knowledge, for laughing, for crying, for never putting down.
I'm looking for recommendations, what something you've read lately and learned from? Or just something that is so good that you just want someone else to share in your excitement.
Let me know.

Knowing a thing and not doing it is like having the solution yet living in the challenge. Knowledge is good but applied knowledge is better.
Even with advances in technology, I still adore the smell of an old book! Try Mindset by Dr.Dweck or Outliers by Gladwell.
I second Outliers!
I love books myself. I've read over 400 of them.
The latest thing I've read and that I recommend is Antifragile by Nicholas Nassim Taleb. I enjoyed it because his crisp mind is so good at seeing through BS
Recently read a few blogs and articles on the pros and cons of the different point of views in the narration of a story and the choice of tenses used for the writing. An eye opener for me as well as for some of the indie authors with whom I work. Narration and tenses for story writing are definite topics worthy of further research and experimentation.
Audio books booming from Audible to Blunderwoman
But as always how to pitch an unpublished work directly to an audio publisher?
Who can forget the success of 'The Martian'?
Maybe writing audioplays instead of manuscripts is the way to go. Elmore Leonard-style sparce description and dialogue. So the producer knows exactly what will be coming through the speakers.
Choice of tenses is vitally important.
By chance would you have any links to those blogs/ articles??
They would be much appreciated.

Internal Dialogue (Busy Writer's Guides Book 7)
Deep Point of View (Busy Writer's Guides Book 9)
Showing and Telling in Fiction (Busy Writer's Guides Book 4)
There were other book/internet sources, but the above ones were the starting point for me.
Thanks for your interest.
Many thanks will check out
This is pretty old though but try Chromosome 6 by Robin Cook.
The Tunnels series was pretty cool. It's a great sci-fi adventure about a world under ground. (http://www.tunnelsthebook.com/)
Knowledge is something that changes what you are.
Read the books of Carlos Castaneda. They are the only books I ever recommend.
Kitaplar benim icin her zaman gizemli ve ilgi cekici olmustur.
