pic per post
i’m going to try to post a pic taken from my phone every post. or, i dunno, we’ll see how long it lasts. it should make for some interesting posts.
today’s pic is the book that i just finished reading: Life of Pi. you see the nice hand modeling job i did there? honestly, i think the reason why i wanted to read the book so bad was the pi. i dunno, secretly i guess i thought it was a book about math. oh, how wrong i was. it starts off kind of slow, but it picks up in the middle and the end. and i definitely wanted to read more when the story was over. i guess i needed some closure. i would recommend this book. chapters are short (which i love), and there’s animals (also which i love). it deals with religion, reasoning, and survival. i think i’m more happy with the fact that i finished it.
you see, i buy a lot of books without reading them, or if i do read them, i usually never finish them. my completion rate is pretty low. i’d say 1 out of every 10 books i buy will be finished within 5 years of buying it. haha! and yet i still buy more books. what’s wrong with me? there’s a quote that goes:
“We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.” -John Naisbitt.
That’s totally me. i have so much information around me, but i don’t know a thing. ahhh… books will be my comfort.
