My Two Cents: Two Pennies For Lithgow Library

It often seems in this crazy world we cannot make a dent in things.  But all you can do is throw in your two cents.  I just did in the local library debate by writing a book based on the history of our library (don't worry, it's full of Masonic intrigue-really).  Buy the book to support the library, because they get any profits.  Just my two cents.  I gave my granpa authorship credit for reaching his 100th birthday.

Career Advice and Talk About Her Sex Life, Meet Penelope Trunk.

I am one of the few people I know who own both Tim Ferriss' book and Penelope Trunk's first book.  Penelope is a writer on careers who also adds in frank information on her sex life without batting an eyelid.  She has a new book out, self-published, hand numbered, and signed until the 29th of March. 

I found her information on self-publishing very interesting.  Since she has 50,000 subscribers, it makes sense that she should self-publish.  

By the way, Penelope's first book was all about careers.  Nothing about her sex life.  I have a feeling that's why it didn't sell as well as it should.  She also doesn't rely on any pity for her diagnosed Aspergers, which is both admirable and an interesting choice.
