Shi Mi benjamin_o4811 — We know their dream; enough To know they dreamed and are dead; And what if excess of love Bewildered them till they died? -- WB Yeats, “Easter 1916” At Swim, Two Boys has a distinguished lineage. Many Irish writers have dealt with the theme of Irish independence. O’Neill though is probably the first to link that theme to the fight for gay pride. In the very heart of the book, we find this dialogue: “Help make them a nation, if not once again, then once for all.” “What possible nation can you mean?” “Like all nations”, Scrotes answered, “a nation of the heart …The struggle is for the heart, for its claim to stand in the light and cast a shadow its own in the sun. Help these boys build a nation their own. Ransack the histories for clues to their past. Plunder the literatures for words they can speak. And should you encounter an ancient tribe whose customs, however dimly, cast light on their hearts, tell them that tale; and you shall name the unspeakable names of your kind, and in that naming, in each such telling, they will falter a step to the light. For only with pride may a man prosper. With pride, all things follow. Without he have pride he is a shadowy skulk whose season is night.” O’Neill ransacks and plunders. He transforms a struggle for national independence into a struggle for gay rights and gay pride. And in the telling, he creates a novel of terrible beauty which hopefully, hopefully, will help us falter a step to the light.

Denis Zollner nadiazolln5db8 — I picked up this book while looking in the bookstore for own copy of Do What You Are. While I wasn't looking for this book, the title spoke to me. It encapsulated what I was feeling at the time, the reason why I was looking for Do What You Are. The cubicle farm drawing on the front cover encapsulated the sentiment even more. I was not disappointed. While Jansen does not use personality type in the way that the authors of Do What You Are Do, I appreciated her focus on forming a career action plan. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 focuses on where the reader is now (Point A), Part 2 presents the reader with a series of self-assessments to determine where he or she really wants to go (Point B), and Part 3 provides a series of tools for building a bridge between Point A and Point B. Not every tool is fit for every person, but there is something here for everyone at any stage of life, from college graduation all the way to retirement. It was the focus on the action plan that I liked most about this book. Most career books have self-assessments of some kind, and I used the ones from this book in conjunction with others to begin creating my personalized career action plan. If certain results from multiple testing sources overlapped, saying essentially the same thing, then that is part of a core standard that I should be using to guide me along my path. And the tools provided in this book helped me to build that path. Perhaps not very far distant in my appreciation ranking is the listing of resources (books and otherwise) that Jansen provides at the end. Other comments aside, that alone makes this book a keeper. While I did employ resources in addition to this book in creating my own path, this book was an essential part of that process for me. It helped me to solidify some earlier thoughts I had about starting my own business (and it was so effective at doing so that I determined the next book I would read would be about entrepreneurship). It helped me to understand more of my own power to create my own path to success. And it gave me tools and inspiration to do so. I recommend this book to anyone seeking any sort of change in his or her career status, and I highly recommend using this book in conjunction with others to formulate a personalized career plan. As the author herself says near the end of the book, "It is time to make yourself happy in your work. Start your journey today."
