Winter in Canada. It sucks. I have complained so much about it (and I just can’t stop). It puts such a damper on my mood and motivation. I’ve tried to embrace it in the past, but, really, it just doesn’t work for me. I’ve been coping with the cold, dark days by watching a lot of television (I’m sort of completely sick of television now, too) and by reading more books (rather than just my usual stack of magazines and list of blogs).
In addition to about a dozen academic books (for a fun-for-me project that I might share one day), I’ve read the following…
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
I’d recommend all three books. Gone Girl was a slow start for me, but once I got into it, I couldn’t stop reading it. It was amazing. The Rosie Project and Rose Effect were both amusing and interesting. Because one of the main characters is a professor, I could relate.
I’ve also been reading a whole bunch of money and tax books. Here are some of them:
I think Gail Vaz-Oxlade’s books have been the most relevant, useful, and informative.
