i've always believed that self-help books are written by people who con others in order to earn a lot of money for themselves
sorry...
just remember.. put your heart to it, do the best you can and be happy with life, because you will ultimately be happy if you are optimistic and decide to be happy
after figuring that out, i wonder how much "self help" one needs..Originally posted by browniebaobao:im reading some self help books..

Kellerman writes interesting thrillers. Follet if you prefer errr a more straightforward sort of thingy. Grisham is nice
but sometimes waffly -
i dunno.. if it's interesting
i'm reading books about how english phrases came to be.. people would hate it but they're wonderful to me
now, people seem to read financial journals like they are some kinda bible.. i get bored after about a paragraphOriginally posted by sherling22:ya, u will sleep soundly after 5mins -

ahh.. how about a book about math?
try Fermat's Last Theorem by Simon Singh..
it's about the hardest equation in the world which is deceptively simple...
but then, within the book, it tells of the stories of the various mathematicians in history, their lives and their obsessions with math...
reads like a story.. but is wonderful
or this.. it is one of the coolest books about a fish i've ever read!
A Fish Out Of Time or A Fish Caught In Time
it's about the discovery of a fish that was thought to have been extinct for millions of years.. the Coelacanth
this fish..
reads like an adventure but everything in it is real! -
Fermat's Last Theorem was finally solved by a Princeton Prof in 2003 or 2004 (can't remember). he spent a decade on it and he won a million dollar prize!!!Originally posted by the Bear:ahh.. how about a book about math?
