Latest 3 reads. 'The Return of the Depression Economics' by Paul Krugman, 'Freakonomics' by Steven D. Levitt/Stephen J. Dubner and 'The Strategist' by Robert Dodge. Commonality, economic books. Difference, first one talks about recessions in modern economies, second talks about weird things under that sun linked to economic theories, and the last one, the one that took most of my reading time writes about Thomas Schelling, famous Economics Nobel Prize winner of 2005 that influenced many important issues like the Cold War, Vietnam War and even Singapore policy making. I want to remember the things I read from these books. All books actually. In fact, its the second time I have read Depression, because I forgot some of the insights in the book.
The next book I am going to read, 'The End of Poverty' by Jeffrey Sachs. However, the book is due soon (I borrowed most of the books I'm reading from the library). I hope to complete it before returning, which is within a week. 300 plus pages, with words small as ants. I will commit myself to read it, and maybe borrow it again if I can't finish this time.
I also bought 5 books from the MPH sale, which I have not touched. 2 on economics, 3 on thoughts. Hope to finish reading them by this holiday, which I doubt is achievable. Went to library today and found more books I want to read. Reading is fun, but retaining the information and putting it into good use is the hard.
And oh no, forgot all about my own book. Damn, I need to work harder and stop procrastinating.
