Where Good Ideas Come From - Steve Johnson

My readspeed for physical books are slowing lately. I'm reading more news and articles online now on various subject matters.

The Hannibal series is also on my to-read list. How did you find Harris' writing style? Heavy and needs some digesting, or would you put it as light reading - can't think of a better example but Harry Potter and Dan Brown's novels would be in this category, in which I can easily blaze through the whole book and immerse in the story.

I’m reading The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande.

Was recommended by someone in my online book group and I thought it was gonna be a ‘how to organise your tasks’ type of book but there are anecdotes of the author’s own experience to the importance of the checklist. He’s a practicing surgeon and discovered that simple task gets overlooked because of the urgency of the situation in midst of the bustle of other patients and colleagues.

Finished reading The Checklist Manifesto and moving on to the 2018 Edition of What Colour is Your Parachute by Richard Bolles. (I’m in soul search mode)

27/5 update: also reading Life as Sport by Jonathan Fader

19/6: halfway reading The Man Who Couldn't Stop by David Adam

Took a break from physical book to read the Solo Leveling web novel cos I couldn’t wait for the manga chapters. I finally finished reading all the novel chapters (few nights sacrificed few hours sleep) xD

Now reading The Selfish Pig’s Guide to Caring by Hugh Marriot - yea, applicable to a change in my current life

Can't Hurt Me - David Goggins

Heard his story on a podcast and was really fascinated with his backstory.
