Book that I couldnât put down â[Saga: Compendium One](. This is a raucous masterpiece! After two close friends recommended it within 48 hours, I bit the bullet. I havenât read graphic novels in ages, but this NSFW gem blew me away. I tore through it in two days. Itâs rare that both the writing and artwork grab me, but this did it. Deep bow and âMore please!â to [Brian K. Vaughan](=) ([@briankvaughan](=)), [Fiona Staples](=) ([@fionastaples](), and [FONOGRAFIKS](). Donât let the page count scare you, as it moves quickly with the artwork. Think of it as a 150â175-page book. â
Clip Iâm enjoying â[Elite Powerlifter Pretended to be a FAKE TRAINER | Anatoly Aesthetics in Public](=)â via Dr. Pollo y Piña. â
Song Iâm listening to again and again â[Ya Habibi Taâala - Ùا ØبÙب٠تعاÙÙ](=)â ([YouTube](=), [SoundCloud]()) performed by Lynn Adib ([@lynnadib]()) and Zeid Hamdan ([@ZeidHamdan]()). â
ââBlog posts Iâm reading â[The Big Picture](=)â and â[The Ladder](â by [Tim Urban]() ([@waitbutwhy](), one of my favorite writers on the entire web. â
Poem Iâm pondering A Morning Offering
â
I bless the night that nourished my heart
To set the ghosts of longing free
Into the flow and figure of dream
That went to harvest from the dark
Bread for the hunger no one sees.
â
All that is eternal in me
Welcomes the wonder of this day,
The field of brightness it creates
Offering time for each thing
To arise and illuminate.
â
I place on the altar of dawn:
The quiet loyalty of breath,
The tent of thought where I shelter,
Waves of desire I am shore to
And all beauty drawn to the eye.
â
May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers,
To break the dead shell of yesterdays,
To risk being disturbed and changed.
â
May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.â
â

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with [my interview with Tim Urban](), my conversation with [elite powerlifter Dr. Stefi Cohen](), and the two podcast appearances of legendary comic book artist [Todd McFarlane](=) ([episode #639]() and [episode #643](=)).
â
And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which bullet above is your favorite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Please let me know. Just [send a tweet to @tferriss](=) and put #5BulletFriday at the end so I can find it.

Have a wonderful weekend, all.
