Ridiculous.

I love my job ... because i am so free while at work. I can actually blog here....

Anyways that is not what i want to elaborate about. You know something? I have started to read- like actual reading. Like go to a bookstore- get a book and flip through the pages until the end. I never use to read-well other than the educational ones that i am required too... simply because i don't have interest it in i guess.

So imagine me.. totally not a reading person - going to the bookstore, in search of a book. Its A book. Any book. I don't know anything about good authors, or should i read fiction or non-fiction. I just want a good book.  {I secretly wish there's a machine that helped me with my situation.}

Most of the time i just find myself standing at the shelfs, thinking.. " Where do i start? " . 1 minute after that i find myself staring at the " What's Top This Week " section of the bookstore. So nothing interest me... because at the back of all the books.... are written with things like ..

 " A Splendid Read" , or  " Incredibly moving " ... or some massive lumps of words asking me to read it.

instead of the actual synopsis of the book....

So the first book i picked up was a "self-help" book. Something about getting to know men better. It has a catchy book title { and i don't know men that well either. }, so why not? i thought. I purchased it with a few other books.

When i flipped the page open. I totally regretted buying this book. The whole book points out the fact how men and women behave,react and understand the same things differently. I scanned through the pages and told myself i am not going to read or buy this kind of book ever again.

Simply because i find it an exaggeration of what the real truth is. Look i know how different men and women are, but not until the point where we are totally different like how the mars and venus statement. I got a little frustrated with the book and eventually myself for being so {fill in the blank.} 


I can read maps, and i can solve problem and i always give solutions when all someone needs is just a listening ear. And it is not true men can't multitask, or they retract into their "caves" when they are feeling down or they are not emotional-beings.

Maybe i should go back and see when this book was actually published. Because i'm really finding it irrelevant. Over the years, i have seen many men who are not only driven in careers, but whom also can be emotional and loving at the same time. And sure enough i have also seen many men who are way more emotional than they should be....

Well... yeah. So no more dumb self-help books-lah. Honestly the books that were interesting to me, are the ones filled with recipes that i can try at home- the best investment if you want to self-help yourself.
