Yesterday, I went to Amazon.com
to shop for books to read now that I have more free time. All
the talk about Economics on my blog lately prompted me to get Freakonomics
by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. I am curious to see how the
principles of Economics are used to explain and connect things and
events that happen in our everyday life. The next book in the shopping
cart is Truth against Logic
by Jamie Whyte. And my reason for purchasing this book: I am so sick of
today's political discourse and want to gain some frameworks to dissect
the arguments of politicians (both left and right), pundits, and
religious leaders. Last but not least, the book The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
by Thomas Friedman was strongly recommended by my classmate, Kevin, for its anecdotal
account of world history and for better or for worse, how it shaped
today's globalized environment.
