Hello boys and girls,
As to my hobbies that I've mentioned in the latest post, I've read 'The Art of War' by Sun Tsu(in English of course. Yeah, I'm that good). Though being written a few centuries ago and dealing to strategies of a battlefield it still contains so many information useful in nowadays life that I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, the vocabulary smashed my mind up. But luckily, the book has only 13 extremely short chapters which makes it almost perfect to me. That's because, probably as most of people, I have my own system of selecting books. This is how it works:
My rule no. 1 in choosing books to read - the shorter, the better.
Rule no. 2 - big letters are required. I hate illegible writing, it discourages me from reading very often.
Rule no. 3 - of course it should relate to some topic I like, for example languages, business psychology or something like that.
The last rule - I like nice covers. I know it's shallow, but I feel they say a lot about the contents so it has a great meaning to me.
What kind of books do you like and how do you pick them?
