october: 25 & 26

i'm posting this on november 23rd?!  who have i become?  answer: a bad blogger.

in october, i read:

outlander, by diana gabaldon (jenny had been telling me to read this book for years, and i finally did it after watch the first two episodes of the TV show that's based on the book. um, this book was totally entertaining.  historical fiction, quasi-romance-novel-y, but a totally compelling story line and a quick read.  i will certainly be reading more books in this series.)

drive: the surprising truth about what motivates us, by daniel h. pink (this was a book that lots of people were talking about in my grad school program and i finally got around to read it.  pink's premise is that motivation comes from autonomy over your job, the potential for mastery, and believing in the purpose.  now you don't need to read the book. :)  but you should!  it's well written and intuitive, but not overly simplistic.  i enjoyed it.)
