Pinter Persuasion & Radical Reading

The last place I expected to find commentary on Harold Pinter’s Nobel acceptance speech (watch the video!) was at a business-advice blog called Presentation Zen, usually devoted to thinking outside the PowerPoint box. But Garr Reynolds reminds us that political theater is communication of ideas, and hits upon the key question, “Are we speaking at our audience or with them?”

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, “web consultant” J. Wynia says it’s time to break the rules we’ve acquired about reading, urging us to start scribbling in the margins and folding the pages. “I personally believe that there is no greater respect that can be shown a book than by using it,” he declares, and he’s even got separate corners to dogear depending on whether he’s holding his place or keeping track of a paticularly useful passage.
