This book was fascinating to me and explains so much about my obsession. I am a 'done' list maker and I also keep my notebooks for years and years. I have learned that If I think to use them as a resource to memory...the item I go back to look for is always missing..that will be the thing I didn't write down on the day. One really fabulous thing about this book is the copies of the lists. I was one of those lefties who was forced to switch to my right hand by teachers with rulers that smacked me if I picked up anything with my left hand. As a consequence I am ambidextrous but write poorly with both hands, the only one to fail penmanship in my class in high school. My mother and sister were also lefties and write beautifully. All my life I hated my writing which makes it odd that I write constantly all day every day. This book is filled with lists written in awful writing and printing. I am not alone in unreadable penmanship. My only cavil about the book is ...each list should have been put in typeface so that those of us with poor eyesight could actually read what was written.

What Do Your Lists Say About You? More and more, we are a nation of list-makers, from grocery lists, New Year's resolutions, and things to do before we die to DVDs to rent and people we've kissed. In To-Do List (based on the popular blog of the same name, todolistblog.com) Sasha Cagen celebrates the humble to-do list, exploring the ways these scribbled agendas reflect our personalities and passions. To-Do List is both a celebration of lists and a peek at the lists that others create. Broken down by subjects like "Daily Lists" to "Sex Lists," it's a fascinating collection of lists from everyday people to the well-known: Novelist Nick Hornby's list of desert island discs A therapist's secret fears ("I HATE having to think about clients in relation to my hair or clothes") A shopping list from chef Alice Waters of Chez Panisse A woman's accomplishments before her thirtieth birthday ("Hot air ballooned over the Serengeti," "Danced on a table in Vegas") Qualities one man is looking for in a future wife, including "Chews with her mouth shut" and "Will let me give my first son the middle name of 'Jacob'" With each list, Cagen offers the story behind it and a prompt for readers to compare notes and take their own stab at a similar list. Voyeuristic and interactive, To-Do List will show you just how much -- and what -- your lists say about you. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
