In my eyes, Sydney is always right. cheesy

I"m one of his greatest fans.

Finished Yasmina Reza's ''Art'' in a jiffy. A play that was a critical and commercial success, I had been looking forward to reading it but it proved a monumental disappointment.

Apparently, a contemplation on the meaning of art and the evolution of a friendship, I found it utterly incompetent on the themes it set out to explore. And worse, I searched in vain for the funny moments as promised and I can't remember one single memorable gag. Nada.

There is currently a penchant for plays which satirise middle class life, a sort of in-joke which the largely middle class theater going crowd seem to share. Unless you are privy to this in-joke, I suggest you better give this play and others of its ilk a miss.

Now discover you strengths by Marcus Buckingham & Donald O. Clifton.

Not a bad book at all. An international bestseller that explains how to develop your talents and those of the people you manage.

I searched around for a copy on one of the torrent sites first, wasn't able to find one. Ended up ordering online.

Makes me wonder what naija would have looked like if we'd had leadership like his.

True, my only problem with Buchi is that all her books have the same theme i.e. long suffering woman who against all odds eventually emancipates herself

Mind Lines by Micheal Hall. Very insightful stuff I must say.
Re: Which Books Are You Currently Reading? by yusuf2(m): 2:11pm On Aug 09, 2011
At Last, I'm done with Brad Thor's "The Last Patriot", was not so captivating if i must say, i'm now on Stephen King's "Hearts in Atlantis" , Mehn, don't know of anyone else, but S.King is da best to me.
Re: Which Books Are You Currently Reading? by Bawss1(m): 2:50pm On Aug 09, 2011
I was warned before I started reading Mind Lines that I was about to enter a bewildering world. Its very easy to get lost in its myriad of paradigms but the beauty of it all is striking. A really interesting read.

LOL. True story, bro! Buchi is tight. Try her Second Class Citizen and No Bride Price. She rocks!

. . .yeah, plus the veiled insinuation that the world can do without men. Well, it's called Feminism.
