The use of reading is to aid us in thinking.
--- Edward Gibbon

Reading, one of my favourite thing! Pretty like its smell, like the feeling of turning pages. It's just wonderful! Anyway, more important is books make me more intelligent and perceptive.

So far, my favourite book is "Priciples of Economics", by Mankiw! This book is an excellent introduction to fundamental basic economics. From this book, I've started to pay attention on economics and financial stuff. Actually, they are never far from us, they exist in our lives, day by day!

Currently, I am reading a historical novel: The other Boleyn Girl, by Philippa Gregory. I am awfully glad that I did! The author did a spendid job of envoking the complicated and turbulence of Henry VIII's court. With a few well words and phrases, Phillipa Gregory paints them as wildly ambitious, ruthless and pettily cruel individuals, willing to use each other in order to achieve a particular goal.

It's still raining... bloody damp summer! Anyway, I am still walking, still reading...
