I’ve gotten quite addicted to reading TED Books on my commute. My latest read is Things Don’t Have to Be Complicated: Illustrated Six-Word Memoirs by Students Making Sense of the World.  The inspiration of the Six-Word Memoir comes from the combination of Larry Smith’s grandfather (Smitty) and the legend that Ernest Hemingway was once asked to write a novel in just six words…according to this legend Hemingway’s response: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Larry Smith joined forces with a… View Post
