Just as if I have a lot of time to read, I went on and got myself another not Amazon books but one from a local store. Never mind the fact that I have more than a couple of titles lying around the house (and car) that I have only read half-way.
I console myself that I could read the many short and unrelated chapters in “Growing up in Terengganu” over as long a period as I wish without feeling lost. It’s books like the “Tipping point” that is a problem because it has to be read continuously to understand the whole concept (especially so for someone with short memory like myself) and I purposely left “Blink” somewhere I can see it everyday as a reminder to finish the other book before I should start on it. But I don’t miss not continuing with “Churchill’s triumph” and “Evening is the whole evening” because they are very easy to strike off from my list of priorities.
Still I am optimistic that I will find the motivation to start and complete my latest book, Girls of Riyadh, which one reviewer wrote : “..will tell you more about one of the world’s oddest and most closed societies than a library of books and articles by supposed western experts“.
