A friend of mine just forwarded me a hilarious like that takes rap songs and puts them into various graphs and schematics using Excel. It's downright classic.
This one may be my fave for you Jay Z fans (check them all out here):
:

Deepak Chopra: The Essential How to Know God: The Essence of the Soul's Journey Into the Mystery of Mysteries (The Essential Deepak Chopra)
Interesting, but at times overwhelming description of an applicable model of existence and our relationship with God. (***)
Alan Lightman: Einstein's Dreams
A really confusing book that has a moment or two. (**)
Per Petterson: Out Stealing Horses: A Novel
A well written novel that weaves the present to the past. A little on the dark side. (***)
Jonathan Franzen: The Corrections: A Novel
A super interesting long novel that proves to me what it means to be a professional writer. Wonderful characters, well worth the time. (****)
Steve Martin: Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life
A home run book that is delightful, touching, warm, funny and all of the other similar things that we never associate with Steve Martin. I'm blessed to have read it. (*****)
Carol Dweck: Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
A actionable book about mindset and it's impact on happiness. The part about parenting is particularly insightful. (***)
M. Scott Peck: The Road Less Travelled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth
An interesting study into the power and impact of psychology in the context of love. (***)
Dean Karnazes: Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner
An easy read that would have been easier to relate to if I were an elite athlete. The limits he pushes himself to are amazing. (**)
Viktor E. Frankl: Man's Search for Meaning
A beautiful book about finding meaning in the context of one man's story from the concentration camp. Nothing much new about the horrors of the camp but a deep, introspective look at what we're all here for. (****)
Malcolm Gladwell: Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
A breezy read that has an interesting approach to connecting to eternal intelligence. Although it's a bit confusing on the role experience plays in the puzzle. (***)
