I remember starting my novel-reading journey in school. Sidney Sheldon was one of my favorite author. Unfortunately, as I grow older, I realized that these genre of novels are kinda cheesy, shallow, and not really my type anymore. I re-read two of his books — Master of the Game and The Sands of Time.

The Price of Time: The Real Story of Interest by Edward Chencellor takes us through time, showing how borrowing and lending have shaped the world. The key idea is that low interest rates can be dangerous. They look like easy money but bring trouble. Too much borrowing. Too much risk. It’s a trap — the cost of cheap money is high.

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield is a popular motivational and philosophical book highlighting the resistances faced by artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, and others who are trying to break through creative barriers.

A work-in-progress (2025).
