			Concerning:  Source Credibility. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	My take home, from years of study as an communications study scholar, is this: If you cannot tell the unvarnished truth, your greatest risk will eventually lead to ---->>> zero credibility. -----------------------. For those interested, here is an superbly written, 99-page study, complete with appendice documentation, on: Source Credibility. (See, PDF link below). http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/cgi/vi...27&context=etd  |

			I very rarely buy books new....but 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I was at the supermarket and saw that Mitch Albom had a new book out... The First Phone Call from Heaven is the title.. So far so good. I've loved all of his other books. Even the baseball one kept my attention.

			Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	This is the book that Hamilton the Broadway hit was based on, and so wanted to read it, but I had doubts going in! I've been 'trying' to read this for over a month now and have only gotten up to his teenage years and about page 38 or so! I think it's a bit too 'dry' of a read to hold my attention so I'll put it away and seek out some light lesbian fluff romance for now!

			All other Harry Potter books, I have read straight through for the most part. Been at this for several days, as struggling with the format of it being a play some. It hasn't "sucked me in".
