Think about it.
To wear or not to wear, that is the question. To pursue or not to pursue, that is another question. Why choice matters and why the future depends on it. We are masters of our own destiny.
Comte De Monte Cristo
Here rests the thoughts of an immortal, making of what the world hath thrown at him.
About Me
- Name: Purry The Magnificent
- Location: Paris, Island of Monte Cristo, Singapore
"My dear count," cried Morcerf, "you are at fault--you, one of the most formidable logicians I know--and you must see it clearly proved that instead of being an egotist, you are a philanthropist. Ah, you call yourself Oriental, a Levantine, Maltese, Indian, Chinese; your family name is Monte Cristo; Sinbad the Sailor is your baptismal appellation, and yet the first day you set foot in Paris you instinctively display the greatest virtue, or rather the chief defect, of us eccentric Parisians,--that is, you assume the vices you have not, and conceal the virtues you possess."

Booklist Additions
How time flies and now we are entering the 3rd quarter of the year! With the passing of time comes the accumulation of allowance money and much time to buy books to read. Ok I have not been updating my booklist for quite a while so here are the current additions to my list all of which are non-fiction of course.
I have already read 293 pages of the Omnivore's Dilemma and have another 110 pages to go. Reading non-fiction books (Science genre especially) are excruciatingly rather slow for me because of the grand vocabulary and the whole lot of scientific terms. Some books are even like a textbook like the Chances are... Adventures in Probability. It has quite a bunch of equations and mathematical functions that will make your head spin leaving you confused if you are not accustomed to such things. Other scientific books are fun, like Scientific Curiosity which is semi historical introductory account of science. and the Schott's original Miscellany which each little topic has no relation to the next and is a great book to glean miscellaneous information from.
