Meet the Readmillers

Books

I love Readmill so much, so when Matthew told me about doing a Meet the Readmillers post with me, I WAS THRILLED. Matthew, an awesome writer by the way, is Readmill‘s Community Manager. For the longest time, books have been a way for us to escape. They transform monotonous travel and free time into journeys. They’re always with us, filling up our bags and electronic devices. In essence, they keep us company. We have a companion in […]

Who Are We?

Personal

Read Russel Brand’s “Big Brother isn’t watching you”  for The Guardian. Below is an excerpt. That state of deprivation though is, of course, the condition that many of those rioting endure as their unbending reality. No education, a weakened family unit, no money and no way of getting any.

So What

Lists

“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, “So what.” “My mother didn’t love me.” So what. ”My husband won’t ball me. So what. ”I’m a success but I’m still alone.” So what. I don’t know how I made it through all the years before I learned how to do that trick. It took a long time for me to learn it, but once you do, you never forget.” […]
