This book was never on my list until recently when the author mentioned the nomination of this book. I was sceptical and still am with books written by celebrities, comedians or any famous people. I feel bad for being judgmental before I check the preview of this book. Also, I'm…
Obese people are not lazy, or weak, or morally bereft; they are most certainly not bad. They are fighting their genes, they are struggling against their biology. Until we in society understand that, until we are able to remove the stigma from being obese, we are never, ever, going to…
Silk Road still can be a controversial topic to be discussed among ourselves. From an IT person's perspective, I'm curious about the website, especially it's architecture and the framework design, but I know that I won't dare to visit the site. They built their utopia of drugs. Although I feel…
I'm not a fan of self-help or motivation books because I don't believe them. I always feel whatever those authors mentioned in their books only applicable to them and every individual is different. I tried to read a few before and I felt it was time wasting and I promised…

He was approached by the academy's chaplain, Horacek. According to Horacek, Rilke had been a pupil years earlier at the academy's lower school at Sankt…
More "interesting" and weird stuff that customers said in a bookshop. I feel the second book is a lot funnier than the first one. I liked almost every conversation but I had chosen a few that I loved the most. WOMAN (holding a copy of a Weight Watchers…
