Im out of my depressive episode and am swept up in a reading (and shopping!) frenzy. Stumbled upon this site www.bookcentrals.com when looking around for Thomas Friedman’s THE WORLD IS FLAT. Saw it in Times at $28 on Friday. The site selling for $20. Admittedly, the site’s selection is rather bland and uninspiring, fiction and non-fiction alike but i suppose it’ll improve with time.
In my sudden insatiable thirst for knowledge, I am lapping up those business/marketing/ self-improvement books i used to avoid like organic food. So you have any 7 Habits of Highly boh-liao people, How to make enemies and sabo friends and the like, please put me out of my financial misery and lend me thy books. I spent $70 on 4 such books (Tipping point, Blink, Wisdom of Crowd, World is Flat) in a week and am on my way to finishing the third. This cant go on. No, I dont want Bak Kut Teh for the Singapore Soul.
I’ve yet to sink that low..
