Recommended Reading

Over lunch one day last week, one of my new colleagues mentioned that she had to recommend a book to someone her junior who's just starting their career.   At that moment, 2 things came to mind:

- Phew!  If someone had asked me to recommend I wouldn't have a clue what to say, given that I haven't read a non-fiction since I dunno when , and

- I wonder if Next Magazine, Sudden Weekly, E-zone, Men's Uno (or whatever that's at the hairdressers) would be suffice =p

So, after reviewing all the publications I've read in the past 15 years ( can probably count with 2 hands) and careful consideration , I have come up with my recommended list:

1) Next Magazine - hey you gotta know what's going on around the town right?

2) The Da Vinci Code - Controversial no doubt, but it's definitely a page-turner.  

3) Introduction to Economics by Alan C. Stockman

You may ask, "What?  Introduction to Economics is on your recommended list!?"

Well, if you're one of those people like me who can't sleep after several cups of coffee during the day, then this book is perfect for you.  I usually start at the Preface, and usually, before I get to "About the Author", I would pass out.  

Or if you need something stronger, go to the section "Supply and Demand".  That will put u to sleep within 2 mins.  "I Guarantee It!"  (for some reason the Men's Warehouse ad in Canada keeps popping into my head as I am writing this)

So, if you ever have any sleeping problems, pull out one of your old Econ books from your bookshelf.  You will not regret it.  

Hope you all had a good weekend.

P.S. This is the year Liverpool will win the EPL.  Even Jamie Carragher is scoring goals now.  Before Saturday, I think had scored 2 in the past 10 years.  Better go buy the lottery on Tuesday.
