Hi guys! Happy New Year! Hope everyone spent celebrating the countdown with people they care about. I wish everyone a 2011 that is listed as a best of times soon! =) So, I reflected on 2010 and though I feel like I spent it without getting anything accomplished, I actually did but just had a great time doing so. People connote achievements with hard work and I'm not saying that's false but it definitely is a variable. If you are enjoying what you do, it can feel like a breeze. I do consider EssSee's book club an achievement because I committed to it. Commitment isn't an easy thing for everyone. Though I know that my audience is practically no one, I stuck to this blog because I love books and just talking/ writing about them. Nothing beats passion. And you know what else I realized? It's pretty impossible for me to read 100 books in a year. Sure, when I was 8 years old, I can do that but with school and everything else. It's impossible!
Okay, here's the good stuff: This book doesn't have a story line. It's a report on subjects that seem like they have no relation but have a strong correlation. This book was recommended to me by two people and at first, I didn't think I was going to go near it. I'm not a person that likes to read about facts and stuff but it turned out really interesting. I especially like a part about names affecting lives and what real estate agents and sumo wrestlers have in common. I suggest that if you are going to read this book, you should be awake. I usually read for 30 minutes to 1 hour before I sleep and by then, I'm tired already. I think this book deserves a great applause because even thought the topics didn't seem interesting at first, the writers certainly made it so. Good job to the Stev(ph)ens. hahaha.

PS. I'm reading High Fidelity by Nick Hornby at the moment.
