I went mad. Oh, probably around the time I started being in a managerial position and realised I knew next to nothing about how to go about it. So how like that? Must read lah. No choice. So I started frantically seeking out those self-help books. I have a good collection now. Want to see some?
But the thing with me is, I would start off reading, complete with Twisties and Cocacola by my side, and about half way through, I would chuck them aside. They're either boring, or not telling me anything I didn't already knew.
So for a few years now, I've stopped buying non-fiction. And thus had sort of a hiatus from serious reading.
With fiction, I would read like a quarter of the book, then quickly flipped to the last few pages. And if I liked the ending, I would take it to the bath with me and read it ever so slowly.
But this book I picked up last week, ooh. Absolutely love it.
I think it was written especially for me. Cos I love her writing style, the examples, the inspirational stories of everyday businesses, the whole works. I'm not kidding. You can just read it like a novel, it's so entertaining. And unlike some marketing books, it doesn't try too hard, know what I mean? It's just a great book, filled with great ideas and it's clear the author has very real practical experiences. Stuff I wish I knew twenty years ago.
I like books like this. Meaty. Entertaining, yet meaty. I so like. Drives me wild allright.
