Issue 6



From Dilbert to Genesis and Lemmy...here is the 6th edition with 4 picks.



Book I finished: White Line Fever: Lemmy - The Autobiography by Lemmy Kilmister. There's no question that Lemmy is a rock/heavy metal legend. That status was achieved way before his unfortunate death in 2015. The book offers a sometimes hilarious, often outrageous, highly entertaining ride with the frontman of (what was) the loudest rock band in history. The language is very informal, it feels like you are chatting with him while having a drink. I read the book in one weekend as I couldn't put it down. A truly epic finale, and tribute, to Lemmy.










I absolutely love Dilbert. I mean, anyone who has ever worked in big corporations cannot avoid relating to this comic exploration of topics such as the inefficiency of meetings, the uselessness of management, and the absurdity of office politics. In this article the creator Scott Adams presents His 10 Favorite Strips and they are obviously hilarious. Look at this one!





I've been listening to a vinyl that is almost as old as I am. I found a vintage copy of A Trick of the Tail which is the seventh studio album from Genesis. It was released in February 1976 and was the first album to feature drummer Phil Collins as lead vocalist following the departure of Peter Gabriel. The album still shows the progressive side of the band that marked the first 6 albums, but it's a transitional album into a pop sound that the band would reach in the 80's.

I've been trying some diverse news source and I found the Daily Skimm to be a good one, specially if you live in the US. The Daily Skimm is the email newsletter that gives you everything you need to know to start your day (US timezones) . They break down what's going on in the world (but heavily US focused) with fresh editorial content.
