Hi,

Just found this post. Below are my top 3 books that I like most:

1. Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki
2. Startup Nation - Dan Senor and Saul Singer
3. Battle Hymn of the tiger mother - Amy Chua

"Seeking Wisdom: From Darwin to Munger" is the most sophisticated book on investment psyche that I have ever come across. I highly recommend this title to anyone who is inclined towards understanding the human factor in market dynamics.

"Lat: Kampung Boy" should you have the need to be reminded to stay grounded.

Seth Klarman's "Margin of Safety".

3 books from 3 different genres...

1. A Song of Ice and Fire series (Fantasy) - 1st book is "A Game of Thrones".

2. Inverting the Pyramid (Sports) - History of football tactics.

3. Freakonomics (Non-Fiction) - Random facts on life.

Animal Farm
Ender's Game
To Kill A mockingbird

Kingkiller Chronicles Book 1 , 2 and 3?

Does that count?

If not, then

The Wheels Of Times
KingKiller Chronicles
The Stormlight Archive

Love that list. Surprised a fantasy fan doesn't list a Song of Ice and Fire. Stormlight Archive only has 1 book so far right? What do you think of B. Sanderson's other series Mistborn? Heard its quite good.

didnt wanna step into another Fantasy world yet. lol, thats y i didnt start on Song of Ice n Fire. That said, I did watch their series and again, would hate to spoil the surprise in the series by reading the book. The series has a pretty good show.

As for Stormlight Archive, yap, B. Sanderson is workin on Stormlight 2. As for Mistborn series, it is full of plot twist and is one of the BEST book i have read. Keep me going back for more. You should really get all 3 book and start on book one ASAP.

As great as the TV show is, the books are 10 times better. The TV show does not give enough screen time to the minor characters that tend to make the book great. In fact, the author George RR Martin already said that the TV show might write themselves into a wall as some minor characters will become major but the show didn't give enough screen time (or in some cases removed the character altogether) to the minor characters.

I just bought The Way of Kings. Once I'm done with that and if I'm impressed by Sanderson's writing style I might get Mistborn.

While we're on the topic of epic fantasies we're reluctant to get into, mine is Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Just don't have the drive to start an adventure that will take me through 14/15 books. Gonna stick to trilogies after using up all my energy finishing the Song of Ice and Fire within 6 months.

Speaking of trilogies, are you a fan of the "Trilogy of Five" aka Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

You are opening a new can of worm with The Way of Kings. That in it self is a set of epic fantasy in work
As for Song of Fire and Ice, I am looking to start on that, but AFTER i am done with Robert Jordan WoT series. I am now up to book 11. 4 more to go . Phew...
As for Douglas Adams, I have entertained thoughts of touching that series but not yet. not yet... Its going to be a heck of a reading. I liked the first book, its quirky, weird and funny.
I did just finish Brewn Weeks. The blinding knife, its pretty good in the middle part, the whole thing started slow but at the center of the book, he picked up quite a momentum and threw lots of plot twist into the story. NICE.

I am now eagerly awaiting COLD DAYS by Jim butcher. Its supposed to be good. Very good.

Lastly, I would urge you to read Patrick Rothfuss books if you have not done so. It is Harry potter for the adults. Epic stuff. Loved it more than Brandon Sanderson's book.

Kingkiller Chronicles? Tunggu budget.

Yeah! King killer ! It's an epic book. Seriously. Worth the money to buy it

nothing wrong in reading das kapital, although its really heavy stuff there. Or even mein kampf for that matter.
As for my must read list:
1) The catcher in the rye- J. D. Salinger
2) Cosmos- Carl Sagan
3) V for vendetta (yes I know its a comic book, but what the heck, its a flippin good comic book)
also
4) To kill a mockingbird- Harper Lee
