Book Review: Zen in the Art of Writing Zen. So for the social media writing class at Quinnipiac, we were required to purchase Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury. However, the book proved to be optional. Yet I read it from cover to cover, and I just plain devoured that thing. So […]
Book Review – Likeable Social Media by Dave Kerpen Dave Kerpen has a rather interesting book here. Likeable Social Media This book was required reading, as a part of my Community Management class at Quinnipiac University. And it made for an excellent read.
