Reading List

Or um… listening list. Here are some of the books I got recently that I feel I should listen to:

- A Passage to India, by E.M. Forster. My best friend recommended it to me, and then followed it up with “It’s not really a book you should listen to” so LISTEN TO IT I SHALL.
- My Life, by Bill Clinton. I dunno, it was there and I bet he has all sorts of crap to say. Hurrah!
- Two Bill Cosby standup cds. He’s pretty funny, but I think his humor is lost on current generations. Like MASH.
- Some trilogy by Neal Stephenson. It was rated pretty high on Amazon, but then again, so was Twilight. I think ratings are only relevant if you have enough interest to have not only already read it, but bought it. Or however else you want to word that. “Clarity” my foot.
- The Story of Civilization, this huge multi-volume history book, basically, but it’s supposed to be really good. I listened to a bit, but didn’t get past the intro into the actual content. Boo.
- Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. I listened to the first hour of this one, actually, and it’s pretty interesting. It’s about exceptional people and statistical anomalies. He talked about how good Canadian hockey players almost all happen to be born in January-March. I don’t want to ruin the answer for you! Haha, go read it.
- The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. I don’t know, it’s some kind of business book. I stole it from a business friend.

Quite a lot, but I get bored when I’m outside, soooo we’ll see. I’ll keep you updated :D
