Book List Refreshed!

I haven't been blogging lately because I've been busy with a number of things. Just out-pro'ed from my annual Indentured/Conscription Training (ICT) which took away an additional 2 weeks of my life's time.

[And which cost me an estimated $200 - $600 in lost employer's CPF contributions and increased tax liabilities from artificially raised take-home pay. Yes, PAP, I keep a detailed count, thanks to your fine examples of governance over the years, and I will certainly "better the instruction".

Some of my friends lost quite a bit more in the 2 weeks, like lost accounts, sales and commissions.]

I will also be in Nepal in a week or so for paragliding lessons, so I definitely won't be blogging for a while.

On the plus side, I had a chance to catch up on my reading, so here's my book list refreshed.

I have removed:

The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
Lessons from Private Equity any Company can Use by Hugh Macarthur and Orit Gadiesh
This Time is Different by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff
The Pose Method by Nicholas Romanov

I have added:

America's Bubble Economy by David Wiedemer et al
Richistan by Robert Frank
The Postcatastrophe Economy by Eric Janszen
When Money Dies by Adam Fergusson (which is available for free download here.)
