Your Dominant Intelligence is Spatial Intelligence
|
You’ve got a good sense of space and how the world around you looks.
You can close your eyes and “see” images. You have innate artistic talent.
An eye for color and shapes, you’re also a natural designer.
Since you think in pictures, visual aids and demonstartions help you learn best.
You would make a good navigator, sculptor, visual artist, inventor, architect, interior designer, or engineer.

Man, did I ever pick the wrong field of work. Hahahaha.

So, I’m halfway through my first book of the year - Tolkein’s The Fellowship Of The Ring. It’s a bit slower-going than I thought it would be, but I do think it’s helped that I’ve seen the movies so I at least have SOME idea of what is going on. 
Hopefully I’ll finish it this weekend and move on to another one.
I’ve realized that I have this grand plan to read 25 books this year, and yet I have no idea what I want to read. I plan on finishing the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I KNOW I’ll be reading the new HP book once it comes out (and therefore I’ll be reading books 1-6 again prior to that release), but other than that, no big ones that I feel like I HAVE to read.
My usual habit when I can’t figure out a book to read is to look for ones that I know are coming out as movies later. But, I don’t want to get in the trap of reading only things that are coming to the screen soon.
So, here’s where I need your help. Give me suggestions of stuff to read! What have you read that you really enjoyed?

Jeff decided to embark on a mad hair-growing experiment about two months ago. He hasn’t cut his hair since early November, and I was quite vocal up until a couple of weeks ago about how I REALLY wasn’t keen on him growing his hair out.
You see, Jeff’s hair is, well, voluminous, for lack of a better term. It’s thick and wavy, and the longer it gets, the wavier it gets. He used to keep it fairly long in high school and college, which brought about the infamous “beret hair” picture taken his sophomore year in college. (Jeff’s excuse for that one was that it was very windy outside and he didn’t have time to pat his hair down before the picture was taken). Jeff’s dad apparently used to threaten to buy ribbons and bows for Jeff to put in his hair in high school. He started wearing it shorter when we started dating, and it’s been fairly short up until now.
But, for better or for worse, Jeff is growing it out again. As I mentioned before, I wasn’t too keen on the idea. And I’m still not 100% sold on the idea. But, I’ve decided that well, it’s his hair. And he’s a grown man. And I’m not his mother. So, if he wants to grow it out, then grow it out, I say.
I guess I should be happy that he HAS hair.
