While I was wandering in a jungle of books, our Vice Chancellor gave his remarkable speech to the new university students and encourage everyone to read more books.

Of course I cannot agree more with this suggestion and has always been practicing this advise.
For example, here are the ones that I bought for myself from
Kinokuniya:
- On Strategy by Havard Book Reviews
- A History of God by Karen Armstrong
- The Life of Pi by Yann Martel
- 100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know by John Barrow
PS. On the other hand, I am not so sure to support becoming more global. To me, the concept of globalization has become a bubble; everyone seems running after it for no reason. After all, what good is there to have a vague idea on what's going on thousands of miles away, but know nothing about the place you live?
