Hicho kitabu kimeenda dimension nyingine.

Kuna sehemu unaulizwa, vipi kama panya walio katika labotatory wana akili kuzidi watu wanaowafanyia majaribio, na kiukweli hao panya ndio wanawafanyia watu majaribio, lakini wamejifanya kama wao ndio wanafanyiwa majaribio ?

Kuna wakati yanakuja mawazo kuhusu dunia na yanayoendelea huwa napata picha tofauti ya kile kinachoonekana kwa wakati huo na kile ambacho mimi nakiona kwa jicho jingine, ambacho nikifikiria kama nitamshirikisha mtu anaweza kuniona chizi 😅

Mfano hii Divine supermarket inaelezea historia ya imani za kidini kama Mormons na SDA, setting yake ni USA. Ukisoma kinatoa mwanga ni kwa jinsi gani dini ni biashara kwa kiasi flani. Hiyo Undercover economist ndo inaelezea mfano kwa nini unakutana na mtu anauza kahawa airport afu mwingine anauza kahawa hiyohiyo Buguruni uswahiluni uko. Hiyo Alfu Lela Ulela hakuna mtu hajui,nlianza kuisoma niko standard 5 nikiwa sijui ni nini. Baadae nakuja kukutana nacho but version zake ndo tatizo nyingine sio tamu kusoma

Asante sana.

Nadhani ni mipangilio tu ya mambo yako na muda wako, kwa wakazi wa Dar tunaotumia daladala kila siku kwenda kwenye majukumu yetu tunatumia zaidi ya saa moja kwenye foleni, muda huo unaweza kuutumia na kitabu vizuri tu.
Saa moja au nusu saa kabla ya muda wako wa kulala unaweza pia kujiwekea lengo walau usome kurasa 20 za kitabu kila siku muda huo, taratibu unajikuta ukifikia lengo.

Nimepunguza sana pia muda wa kutazama TV programs na series na muda ninaookoa hapo nauhamishia kwenye usomaji.
Episode moja ya series si chini ya nusu saa, kwa msomaji mzuri muda huo huo unaweza kuwa umesoma kurasa zako 20 vizuri tu.

My list is simply too long.

I just finished "Quantum: A Guide For The Perplexed". Fascinating insight into Quantum Physics.

I enjoy biographies. I am a big fan of David McCullough. His Pulitzer winner "Truman" makes you feel like you are living with the characters in the book. I enjoyed it very much when it came out.

I did enyoy The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy immensely when I read it in the nineties. Adams must have been smoking some kind of mushrooms when he wrote this book. When I think of "Vogon poetry" sometime link that to some of our politicians speeches.

I am heavily biased towards non fiction. Economics, behavioral sciences (I just finished Malcolm Gladwell's "Talking to Strangers: What We Know About The People We Should Know", well worth the read) current affairsand politics (I recently read Francis Fukuyama's "Identity: The Demand Fir Dignity and The Politics of Resentment". It gave me a better understanding if people like Mohamed Said.

I like science. I enjoyed immensely Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History if Time: From The Big Bang to Black Holes" in the nineties. I recently read his posthumously published book "Brief Answers To The Big Questions".

I enjoy reading about philosophy and religion. "The Philosophy of Religion: An Anthology" was such an eye opener when I read it in the mid 1990s.

I am trying to get back into fiction. The last fiction book I read was "A Gentleman In Moscow" by Amor Towles. Fascinating read. It is another period piece that takes you from the pre-Bolshevik Russia to the revolution era and beyond, through the eyes if an aristocrat gentleman and a little girl, trapped in the grand hotel of Moscow.

I like essays. I recently gathered to courage to mount the brick sized tome that is Christopher Hitchen's "Arguably: Selected Essays" . The man has encycloepadic knowledge of extraordinary proportions.

I recently read "India: A Portrait" by Patrick French. Very goid for aquinting onesekf with the idiosyncracies of India.

Bill Bryson is another author I find very interesting. His "A Brief History of Nearly everything" was very fascinating. He has a new book about the body, I have bought it but I haven't had the pleasure if reading.

David W Blight's "Frederick Douglas: A Prophet if Freedom", a Pulitzer winner, was another fascinating read I devoured in the oast few months. I thought I knew a lot about Mr. Douglas, until I read this book.

These are some of the books I have enjoyed, mostly within the last 6 months, if not stated..

A full list would simply be too long.

Within the last six months? I am speechless but all you need now is an Oscar award.
People need to have a very high IQ to understand those books you've read. There are not for everyone. From your list , I've read only The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and I must admit, it's not for everyone. It requires a fairly high IQ To understand the book. I wish I NEVER read it, So I could read it again for the first time.

Good, I finished Think and Grow Rich last year. It made me took at life differently. One thing Hill said and I liked is " Always do more what you are paid for''.

I read also How to Win Friends......many years ago. It helped me understand the basics of how to make small talk and why eye contact is important. helped me to think about making other people comfortable instead of worrying about my own anxiety. Taught me to avoid pointless argument. and because of this book, now i know how to make people feel important.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Trilogy of four kuna mtu aliingia kwangu akakiiba wakati sijaanza hata kukisoma, halafu mbaya zaidi nimeachiwa nikisome na mtu mdogo wangu mwaka 2007 hiyo. Nakumbuka kuna siku mdogo wangu alikuwa anasoma kwa nguvu sura moja inasema something like "Thanks to all the fishes" hata nimesahau.

Thanks for all the fish, ni tittle ya fourth book ya Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy na Maana yake ni kusema ''goodbye" na tittle yenyewe inasomeka "So Long and Thanks For All the Fish". Pole Malcon ni kitabu kizuri sana.
