EXERCISE Go to a bookstore or library when you have at least fifteen minutes to spare. Wander through the shelves without any particular intention. Try to feel if some books or sections seem to “tug” at you. This “tug” is a wisp of the same kind of curiosity you used to feel when you were a little kid, whenever something really interesting passed your way. It’s quite subtle, and you may be tempted to ignore it. Don’t. Pick five books that give you the strongest “tug,” take them to a table, and page through them, focusing on anything that seems to draw your attention.
