I heart books

For the first time in a really long time I don't feel stressed. A new course (Management) has just started and everything is very easy...so far. I'm now relaxing in my hometown in the middle of Sweden. My mum is spoiling me as usual with cookies and other fattening stuff, she said that it was good that I finished a big nutella jar in just 5 days!!!!!!!!! According to her I at least got some energy from it...hmmm, yes, about 2500 calories of energy. Maybe I should send my mother to a healthy lifestyle class? She's going to Shanghai this saturday so unfortunately there's no time for it.
I haven't been reading any books for such a long time (except my 3 books about accounting), however I just started reading The tipping point by Malcolm Gladwell, thought I would read it after having read blink by the same author which was really interesting.

So, tomorrow I'm going to the library to find if these books are available:
1. Lasermannen by Gellert Tamas
2. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
3. Everyone worth knowing by Lauren Weisberger ( I love chick-litts!!!)
4. The World is flat by Thomas L Friedman
5. The No. 1 Ladies' detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
6. Saffron Skies by Lesley Lokko

You could also try "The Paradox Of Choice" by Barry Schwartz which talks about how we have too much choice as consumers and argues how it's actually paradoxically not in our best interest.

Thanks for the tips, Im going to the local small library here, am probably sure they wont have it, but when I get back to Stockholm I'm going to search for it. I think I got recommended on that book before you mentioned it.

I get all my books from Amazon.com. It's very convenient and arrives on about 3-4 days.
