Brutha-ly Love

Welcome to the quarry of the quintessential quirk, the caberet of the crazed cretin, the abode of the aberrant aristocrat, the nexus of the neurotic engineer, the diary of the dogmatic dog-lover and the ranch of the revolutionary romantic! Have fun at your own expense!

Bookies

What started as a day of intrepid boredom soon spiraled into the greatest literary revolution my life has ever seen.

Those who know me only see me digesting magazines, comics, and essentially information available in bite-sized pieces. The inevitable consequence of too much Coke as a child.

And all this is (indirectly indirectly) thanks to my HUSGUAR wahaha.


In the short span of 1 month, i've finished:







And all this was while erm.. trading loads of academic assistance for financial assistance, going to Brunei for 2 weeks of sandfly-ridden hell and of course, wildly socialising thanks to the car.

RichDad (4.5/5) - BLOODY GOOD and inspirational. Really riled me up about investments and asset management, to the point where i was faithfully reading the Classifieds section simply to scour out the differences in house rental/purchase costs.

Blink (3.5/5) - Very good analogies and anecdotal examples. Other than that falls a bit flat in trying to convince you to 'think without thinking'

Undercover Economist (4.0/5) - Essentially a crash course in basic JC econs, easily understandable even to a triple-sciencer like me!

Paradox of Choice (3.5/5) - Very monotonous and repetitive first quarter of the book which would turn most people off, but then picks up later on and provides gems about the factors that influence our satisfaction.




What the hell do you classify this genre of book anyway??

Non-fiction? Self-improvement? Social theory? Ah whatever it is, i'm sorta transfixed by this now.

Recommend me recommend me!! I need new ones to check out.

Will constantly update as i continue reading!
