Fantastic books: and how to find them

 

Fantastic books: and how to find them.

 

Method 1. Ask the universe.

Book: How to fail at almost everything and still win BIG- Scott Adams.

 

I found this book 3 years ago when I was repeatedly messing up in the lab. My 4th year undergrad project was a freaking mess and like my project I was messing up everything in day- to-day life. I asked the universe to help, and I found the book online. Dudes in social media call it 'algorithms ', I call it ‘Universe responds to questions in the form of books’ and yes, It answered many questions.

The book is in line after: Martian and Trevor Noah's Biography, Funny, makes sense and you want to re-read it. I call them the big 3.   

 

Method 2: Research

Book: How lovely the Ruins.

 

I was looking for poetry books online, going through some blogs and Goodreads, and I found it, it had great reviews and I downloaded a sample and fell in love with it. Whenever you see a book online, download a sample in Kindle, read 10 pages if you continue, then order it, because well, don't judge too fast.  but it was freaking expensive and I had to wait 3 months to get it. Well, it's worth it. I've reread it countless times. it gave me hope, it gave me peace and assurance that I’m not the only one, I bought it 4 years ago but read it over and over again in the past 2 years. because well, How lovely the ruins?

 

Method 3: Classical method: AKA Love at first site

Book: Legend of the Condor heroes

 

I started reading books in school. Me and my best friend used to go search for a nice book in the school library inside out, discuss it and take a book, but sometimes, I used to just pick them blindly. I call it the "You don't pick the book The book Picks you " phenomenon, like the wand picks Harry, in Philosopher's stone. I walk into bookstores with only enough money to find one book. and I see it, fall in love with it at first glance (and of course fall in love with the summary on the back cover), take it home, read it, fall in love again. The odds of a book bought by this method being boring are extremely low, I have never impulse bought a book that's boring. They call it impulse buying, I call it LOVE. Books have love too you know. It also doesn't happen that often, very rare phenomenon.

 

Go out and find your books, it’s always an amazing adventure.
