myth Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Thanks 'forbidden' and 'ryan00' for the advise. I am an entrepreneur besides being a book lover so I read mostly business books. Kotler has always been the marketing guru and he had taught many basic principles. In Search of Excellence first came out in the early 80's. I also read it, a little dated really but you can get a lot of ideas to apply to your company. Anyway I also like to read other types of books. Classics, Best sellers, Biographies (especially about Bill Gates and Jack Welch!), etc. (I even read all the Harry Potter books!). hey jimmy did u knw dat d author f in search of excellence publicly admitd to falsifying sum f hs research. hehe, yun lng remembrd my prof sayn sumtn like dat a coupl f yrs ago Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 haha!!! oo nga lent na... i haven't read much mexican literature... ganun ba talaga yun??? Latinos are passionate people so it sort of translates into their literature......Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Vargas Llosa, Isabel Allende - their works, although differently-themed sometimes always have some sprinkling of sensuality throughout their pages ......also, looking at your avatar makes me forget it's Lent Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I don't know if there's anybody here who's into mysteries but I've always been a fan of Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, Rex Stout, etc - devoured almost all of their books years ago...... Lately I've been into non-fiction but I've heard of Ian Rankin and his Inspector Rebus books.....parang I want to check them out - rich in atmosphere and characterization daw because they're set in Rankin's native Edinburgh.....

A Study in Scarlet it was.....though I don't recall him having died there...Several of Agatha's books were made into movies - most notable of which was Murder on the Orient Express - which had an all-star cast.. Another fave of mine back then were the Ellery Queen books....the mysteries were good and so much fun because before the last chapter, the author challenges the reader to analyse all the facts presented and then guess who the murderer or culprit was - the plots were so cleverly devised that I scored a zero for all his books - never really guessed right Quote Link to comment
raistlin Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 mysteries!!!!!!! Oh I love to read them... Read nancy drew, hardy boys, three investigators when I was in grade school agatha christie's novel in High School and Sherlock Holmes.. I just love to read about Sherlock Holmes...
