WHAT I AM READING NOW OR ABOUT TO READ SOON...

For the last 2 weeks or so, & as an avid reader, I have been busy browsing, during spare moments, in several local bookstores, namely, Harris (at Jurong Point 2), Kinokuniya (at Bugis Junction & Ngee Ann City), & Popular (at IMM) - also, partly to enjoy the offered steep discounts.

[With the steep discounts, it's almost just as cost-effective as buying from Amazon!]

I have had a pretty good harvest.

So now, I have a great time reading some of the new books, & they will keep me intellectually busy - & mentally alive! - for quite a while.

Also, I have this habit of reading several new books in one go, which sometimes is good to push my brain into perturbation mode.

Nonetheless, besides for my intellectual stimulation, I just like to fish out quickly all the new perspectives &/or ideas.
