As a professional performer, do you spend a lot of time staying up to date with the “best” and critically acclaimed books and effects?
What makes you decide a certain book is worth your consideration? |

Pierredan: Yes, it is VERY difficult to keep up -- and I'm not even sure that any of us can do that anymore. Could you imagine being a trick or DVD or book reviewer for a magazine! I can't think of a more awful job!
Sometimes I am drawn to a book by the author. Other times friends or students will recommend a book and I'll read it. To use a metaphor of Alan Watts, trying to keep up with the literature is rather like "trying to climb a greased pole." |
