When I was young, I seldom read books and I rather spending time on sleeping and drawing "City Plans" which was a kind of paper SIMCITY. I draw hundreds of them during my primary and secondary school era. Somehow I start to read books more when no more school is needed. I guess my sister and I have at least couple thousands books at home. Somehow at least 70% had never been read or flip. Some of the plastic wrap may even in good condition as of the day I brought them. Maybe my instinct on collecting, I buy books which I like and put the books somewhere in my home. Nowadays there is less and less space at home to store the book, and books are occupying half of my 60-inches wide bed. Anyhow, I read a lot of books and gonna share some of them with you here.

English books maybe easy found on Amazon, but for the Chinese one, I guess I need to scan the cover, and of course it take time to let them appear in this page.

On the other hand I do like to read a number of magazines. Most of them are available in convenient store or the bookshop at the street corner.

National Geographic: International Edition Although I tried to keep all the magazine I have, it is impossible. Anyhow, I do keep all the National Geographic. Pictures in National Geographic are those you cannot take all of them in a life time.
I subscribed to these two weekly for several years, but I quit now cause there I am over flood with news already. Business Week
I write no book commentary, but I do like to share books which I read. A dichotomy of views of an issue and for those, especially people in Hong Kong,  who have no ideas on Israel, this book may bring you at least what had happen to one of the middle conflicts.

 

Newsweek
 
Recently I read a lot of books about the Middle East and here are couple of them written by a Swedish journalist. I guess it there is  a view from another angle compare to those American or British writer's. If you are a friend of mine and living in Hong Kong or colleagues living in Canton, I can lend books to you. By the way, I have lend quite a lots of book to buddies during decades and if you have not return them to me, please do. If you are a kind of lost contacts friends or you are now located out of Hong Kong, you better send it to me by mail.
This book is worth to read, if you are a person who care about our global village
