Readers of the blog nominated books and LifeHacker tallied the votes. No surprise that The Bible is number one, of coarse more praise then it should receive. Interestingly, at a very close second was the works of Ayn Rand's. As an Ayn Rand follower, its good to see others are reading her but I always find it interesting that everyone has read her books though rarely anyone practices her philosophy. Other books include The Stranger by Camus, works by George Orwell, and two books by the biologist and quite possibly the smartest scientist since Darwin, Richard Dawkins. His books The selfish Gene and The God Delusion both made the list and I would agree that they are excellent reads. ]]> http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/good-reading/feed/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/is-google-making-you-stupid/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/is-google-making-you-stupid/#comments Wed, 11 Jun 2008 21:06:13 +0000 Justin http://blog.justinleavitt.com/?p=112 http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/is-google-making-you-stupid/feed/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/the-overman-with-features/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/the-overman-with-features/#comments Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:25:46 +0000 Justin http://blog.justinleavitt.com/?p=111 Behold, I teach you the overman. The overman is the meaning of the earth.Let your will say: the overman shall be the meaning of the earth! I beseech you, my brothers, remain faithful to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes! Poison-mixers are they, whether they know it or not. Despisers of life are they, decaying and poisoned themselves, of whom the earth is weary: so let them go. I started reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra this week. I decided to share that little snippet with you. ]]> http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/the-overman-with-features/feed/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/schools-out/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/schools-out/#comments Thu, 22 May 2008 18:59:44 +0000 Justin http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/schools-out/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2008/schools-out/feed/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/happy-holidays-2007/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/happy-holidays-2007/#comments Mon, 24 Dec 2007 03:25:25 +0000 Justin http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/happy-holidays-2007/ Happy Holidays 2007 Past Cards: New York City=Expensive New York Christmas Shopping Survival Guide Happy Holidays 2006 for some reason this one is not working correctly but you get the gist of it. ]]> http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/happy-holidays-2007/feed/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/fact-and-opinion-have-the-same-meaning/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/fact-and-opinion-have-the-same-meaning/#comments Thu, 08 Nov 2007 16:37:10 +0000 Justin http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/fact-and-opinion-have-the-same-meaning/ Wikipedia. There is a wiki for just about everything because anyone can start a wiki regarding any subject they choose. One can write about their hobby, a favorite food, a historical event, or a famous movie star. Anyone who shares an interest or knows more information about your article can expand on your writing or disagree and rewrite it. It's an ever changing, organic encyclopedia. But I have to ask, who gives the guy sitting next you right now the power to deem truth? With the power of community can we decide what is truth and make prove what is fact? Just one man deemed me unimportant and not worth a wiki.]]> http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/fact-and-opinion-have-the-same-meaning/feed/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/justins-hipster-rebuttal/ http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/justins-hipster-rebuttal/#comments Thu, 08 Nov 2007 16:27:04 +0000 Justin http://blog.justinleavitt.com/2007/justins-hipster-rebuttal/ Amy's definition.
