If a blog has something posted to it on the Internet, and nobody is around to read it, is it legible?
Michael Walker: Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll's Legendary Neighborhood
A Christmas Gift from Tim R. The first chapter was a struggle given the subject matter jump from what I had been reading. Now I'm in that world, and it's compelling. If you're a music history buff, this is a 'must-read'. Thanks Tim! (****)
Jack Welch: Jack: Straight from the Gut
If you've any interest in how to improve any organization, I would recommend this. Also it's a great view of how big business deals are arranged. (****)
Stephen R. Covey: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
I consider this compulsory reading for anyone wanting to improve in any way shape or form - a classic that's stood the test of time. (*****)
Malcolm Gladwell: Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
A harmless read that at times is compelling and at times a bit unnecessarily wordy. Overall, I would recommend it. It articulates what I've always intuitively held, that ones intuition can be a powerful tool in making sense of the world. (****)
David McCullough: John Adams
Not only Americans should read this stuff. We all owe alot to these guys who showed us a new way over two hundred years ago. (*****)
Jerry Lewis: Dean and Me : (A Love Story)
I thought it so good, I read it in three days over the Christmas holidays in Mexico. If you've ever seen their movies, or listened to their songs, you gotta read this. It's a great glimpse into the America of the 1950s (*****)
David McCullough: 1776
Brilliant - a compelling read from start to finish. I'll never look at New York or Boston the same again. (*****)
Tom Barry: Guerilla Days in Ireland
This is my second time reading this. Recommended to anyone who wants to know what it was like in Cork during the War of Independence. (*****)
Alexander Hamilton: The Federalist Papers (Penguin Classics)

However, a lack of postings does affect the number of readers. :) I should know. I'm way guilty of post delinquency on my blog.

Yes, it is legible. Legible means that it is readable, understandable, or intelligible, even if there is no one around to read it. A lack of readers does not affect its legibility :)
