Seth Godin – Tribes

The concept behind this book is as simple as it is brilliant – these days, we’re all leaders, and everyone has the opportunity to start a movement. You see it all the time, people forming tribes behind ideas like the (successful) attempt to get Rage Against the Machine‘s Killing in the Name of to become the Christmas Number One.

In this book, Godin convincingly explains why you should embrace these tribes, and why you should avoid being a sheep and attempt to lead the pack instead. It’s valuable advice, whether you apply it to your career or your business. It’s one of a half-dozen Godin books that I’d recommend to anyone who works in marketing.

Allen Ginsberg – Mind Breaths

It seems like every collection of Ginsberg’s work has some pieces of stand-out poetry, and this one’s no different – Mind Breaths, the titular poem of the collection, is like an extension of Howl, and Sweet Boy, Gimme Yr Ass is a triumphant celebration of the poet’s sexuality. Keep your eyes peeled, too, for Hadda Be Playing on the Jukebox, a vicious indictment of the government and the wars that they carry out that was adapted by Rage Against the Machine.

Ginsberg’s work here is as sharp as ever, and it’s a pretty short collection – too short, in fact, for you not to read it.
