Recent Readings

I believe that a regular reading (on any subject) is a very good habit for an affulent life. Nevertheless, it's very difficult to make (a comfortable) time to read in real life with many excuses. Especially for a normal salary man like me. For example, I get up at 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning and begin to work after one-hour FAT-BURN job. In the evening, I arrive at home at 8:30 or 9:00 if I don't have any appointment and then go to bed with kids together and usually read out loudly one or two childrenbook till the kids(actually the first son) get asleep. Then in the 10:30 pm roughly, I can make some time for reading if I don't get asleep with kids *luckily*.
Otherwise, commute bus ridings or lunch time gives the another chance to do it.
(Anyway doing something regulary is really hard regardless of my laziness..)

These days I'm reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy(by D. Adams) and 4 Weeks Body Revolution(by DK Han). And recently I read the Broker(by J. Grisham) and Boy:the tales of childhood(by R.Dahl)


I'm starting the Hitchhiker's Guide weeks ago, but feeling some difficulties to fully understand it at once and quite slowly going forward though I really like this kind of SF books like the foundation series. It is due to its unaccustmed and unfamiliar style, voca and method for story unfolding. I've never read his books before. And possibly due to lack of time.
But it's fun anyway in using Encyclopedia Galactica(without courtesy? he). The imagination, satire, and metaphor is impressing.


The Body Revoltion is a nice weight training guide book and I' m reading it shortly on bed though I'm not following the instructions it gives. What I've learned from it is that an over-training is not an exercise or practice at all and a pain( from over-training) is just a pain. Totally agree that. I think it's useful for my current FAT-BURN program.


The Broker. I was waiting till the price was down for almost a year, bought it in the late February and read it quite quickly. The thrilling story like other Grisham's books was fine but I felt the storyborad in the last few chapters was not sufficient: the tension thoughout the story was relieved too quickly.



Dahl's boy was an interesting book with his own childhood memories and episodes. Quite funny and easy to read. I liked his style, particulary, simple and vivid. And I was enjoying finding hints from the episodes for his other books like Chocorate Factory.
