Books

Finally I am done with my crazy love-reading on "Paddington Bear" after finishing all the possible paddington bear books I could get from library. My parents have been seeing me reading those children books on and on. I bet they ware waiting for me to pass this mode, and wondering what next mode I will get myself into.

It is always mental rest to read Children's book. I am back to audio book "Anne of Green Gables". oh, aren't you love Anne? sometimes, I feel that I am sort of like her -- very talktive.

I read couple Nicole Sparks books to practice my reading speed. Well, this is my rule of reading, I am most interested in non-fiction, esp. biography, feeling like to live through his live with his words. But those reading can not include speed, sometimes, need repetitive work to understand, at least for me, a Chin-glish(Chinese English) speaker. During the reading break, I will take some fictions as my speed reading materials, as most of fictions, you could read faster but not loosing the grasp of meeting, plus, certainly help my english.

Now I am reading "Planet Google". It is so much related to my profession, the discussion of open and close source has been a forever topic in computer world. If Google gives Microsoft and Yahoo a big surprise, facebook definitely did a better job to Google. Google represents the open source but facebook represents the close. It is not to say one is better than another. Bottom line, which much serve the global community needs and continually enhance the need.
