Loving lit: Valentine’s Day reads
Reads writers recommend fiction for the love-filled (or lonesome) holiday this Friday. “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” by D.H. Lawrence — Betty He “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” is a novel to sink into. It is unapologetically materialistic — it sharply reels against the coldness of the intellectual and remains magnetically attached to sensual pleasure.
The lonesome storybuilder
Haruki Murakami has tended to crowd out other Japanese fiction writers in the American market. Not today. Yukiko Motoya’s story collection “The Lonesome Bodybuilder,” her first in English, will appeal to readers who appreciate Murakami’s surrealism, but who lament his lack of attention to fully realized gender dynamics.

Meditations on 'The Book of Questions'
by Scott Stevens — November 6, 2019November 6, 2019 As midterms blow around us like unwanted leaves, our reading habits may suffer in the attempt to fend them off. In the interest of surviving midterms, books made up of shorter sections, which you can read in between problem sets or essay writing, can serve as succinct (and manageable) instigators of wonder. Chilean Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda’s bilingual poetry collection, “The Book of Questions,” translated by William O’Daly, does just that.
‘Midnight Cowboy’ critiques American mythology
“Midnight Cowboy” begins inconspicuously. Joe Buck, a 6-foot-4 stud, stands in front of mirror, clad in full cowboy regalia, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. As Harry Nilson’s classic song “Everybody’s Talkin’” resounds, he takes his suitcase, quits his job and boards a bus. For three minutes, John Schlesinger’s 1969 film seems like a conventional Western. Granted, John Wayne traveled on a gorgeous gray horse, not a gas-guzzling Greyhound.

This year’s previous Uber experiences had only led me as far as the University Avenue construction detour and no further, but this time was different. This time, I was on to bigger, better things. “CALTRAIN” the sign in front of me screamed in bold red letters.

I was not born to read. In fact, none of us were. Unlike language, which sprouts from the lips of most toddlers effortlessly, reading is an art which must be drilled into us in elementary school and continuously practiced afterwards. In “Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World,” Tufts professor Maryanne Wolf explains the inner workings of the intellectual feat each of you reading this article has accomplished.

Feeling the pressure to innovate? Start small
Innovation is one of those words that can be used in multiple ways. Sure, it can mean something that changes the world over night, and that's how many people would define it. But in the day-to-day reality for IT leaders, innovation is ongoing. It's small tweaks here and there that add up to eventual paradigm shifts, changing the way people in the organization think, how they work with each other, and how they measure their success.
