THE SCOTCH PARLOR LIBRARY
INTRODUCTION
WORDS BY RICK SCOTCH
I love books. I love reading and collecting them. The power of books can change a mindset, particularly when you find a book that seems like it was written just for you. They are filled with wisdom, shared experiences, first-hand perspectives, or flat out just entertaining. I haven't always been a reader or a collector. I hated reading up to high school. It wasn't until I graduated from college that my reading obsession started and vastly increased when I started down the entrepreneur path. Today, as an entrepreneur-creative, reading a book after a day of creating helps me relax. It changes the pace for me mentally. Now, I'm not an e-book reader. There's just something about holding a physical book that is more compelling to me.
"
A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read.
Mark Twain

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.
George R.R. Martin
Now that I have established my love for books, I want to introduce a new segment called the "Scotch Parlor Library." In the library, I will feature on-going avid readers that share the same love for reading and ask for their recommendations on what we should be reading. The subjects will range from entrepreneurial to creative perspectives to bios to books that are just meant to entertain. Nothing is off-limits but just fabulous books. Books are essential for my on-going journey, and I hope we can discover great books that we should all be reading. Let me introduce you to my our first Scotch Parlor Library Contributor Kail Letkemann...
