My first blog :)

Currently Reading : 
The Chronicles of Narnia  by C.S. Lewis
好耐無讀過兒童叢書, 電影版才剛上映,
戲內女主角更大大聲話呢個世界只有兩種人 --
"The group who has read Narnia, and the group who has not."
一共七本, 我買左合訂version, 共767頁, 開始左兩日既我現時停留於第87頁。

比想像中好睇, 之前以為會好"行"既情節竟然帶來新鮮感,
可能因為近期睇太多比較大眾化既 thriller, 本本情節都估到大概,
極之少接觸既小朋友故事就反而讓我覺得新鮮, 刺激!

How Would You Move Mount Fuji? : Microsoft's Cult of the Puzzle -
How the World's Smartest Companies Select the Most Creative Thinkers

by William Poundstone
五粒星! 每條變態 interview問題都提供埋十分詳盡既分析方法同答案, 仲解構埋訪者點樣觀察被訪者既回答方式從而判斷其性格, 工作能力, 甚至有否改變其他同事之潛能等等。精彩精彩精彩! 讀完頓覺自己精左醒左兼思考能力高左, 但好可悲地這現象持續了幾個鐘。
共288頁, 我對上一次拎起手好似係睇到一半少d。

Finished Last Week : 
Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner

An absolute eye-opener! Just as the title suggests, the authors vigorously discuss the correlation (in some cases, causality) between seemingly unrelated people and things in our everyday lives.  His views are extremely unconventional but rather inspiring and, more importantly, entertaining.  I would agree that such topics are not nearly as practical though - it is unlikely they'd become the topics of my daily conversation with others.  And unless I can make my points as thoroughly and in such convincing ways as can Levitt, I doubt I can make  such arguments in real life. A very interesting read indeed. 

Other recent readings :
七武器 (全七本) - 古龍 (應該係第三次睇lu...)
連城訣 - 金庸 (第二次)
The Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
Digital Fortress - Dan Brown
Deception Point - Dan Brown
Angels & Demons - Dan Brown
State of Fear - Michael Crichton

Next Book (???)

    Fun read???   did you read David Sedaris'  Me Talk Pretty One Day.  I couldn't stop myself from laughing (in a plane) when I was reading that book for the first time.

    I've actually heard about it very recently, but I've never read it.  Been reading too much ancient philosophy lately, it's getting a bit exhausting....i do need a fun read indeed!!!

    Just finished reading Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.   A story of an autistic boy.  It's a fun read as well.  Did you read that?

    Awesome!!!  "Freakonomics"  is definitely a fun read for everyone.  Every person to whom I've introduced this book loves it - even my roommate who hates to read couldn't put it down

    O MY GOD !!!
    you have read memoir of a geisha? I read it five years ago and it is my favourite book ( not ONE OF my favourite bookS)
    I find the story fascinating, I just couldn't put it down even I was doing volunteer work in mainland China village. I kept on reading it during the shaking bus ride.
    What a coincidence, I re-read it yesterday !

    印像中睇過連城訣,不過應該係大英帝國統治個果年代。

    "The Chronicles of Narnia"是C.S. Lewis眾多作品中唯一兒童小說, 作者當年承認曾把一些宗教理念融入故事中, 但主旨還是寫一本能娛樂全世界小朋友的故事書。

    C.S. LEWIS是基督徒作家,但其作品大概不會說教。

    "七武器"中的"多情環" 是我看過的第一本武俠小說! 因此我一直對古龍情有獨鐘, 屢看不厭!

    原來如此~不過我沒看DanBrown的作品, 只是聽過他的名字, 有人說他寫得很好~
    不過我有很多書要慢慢看, 尤其倫理學的參考書, 要邊看邊思考, 又傷眼又傷腦...

    原來你喜歡看書呀! 尤其作者Dan Brown是你喜歡嗎?
