A primary benefit realized from this journal is its role as a sort of ‘audit log’ of life. To that end, keeping track of impactful books read is a perfect fit. My first entry, Jake Fades, came as a recommendation from my good friend and former HP colleague, Tom M. Thanks, Tom.

This frolicsome novel is about Zen Buddhism, death and sexuality. This story of ageing, illness and death is a good ‘layman’s introduction’ to the Zen concept of impermanence.
