george's random thoughts

A friend of mine bought the book The Eighth Habit by Stephen Covey. She said she had to read it since she already bought it. I said dump it. Read the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People instead. It is a waste of time otherwise. Good books are the ones once you start reading, you cannot stop. You want to finish it without leaving your hands. Any other books are either bad ones, bad timing (best time is when you immediately need it), or not suitable for you.

For technical subjects, I feel I generally need 3 books to know/understand a subject relatively well. (Is 3 a magic number?)

Books are other people's experience. Read good books and life is so much better.
