Shhh! I’m reading…

Went to the MPH Bookstore in Gurney Plaza yesterday. This huge tome caught my eye: Starting an Online Business all-in-one Desk Reference for Dummies. At 840 pages, it’s not a book for the faint-hearted, heh heh. I’ve started to plough through it. I’ve been a For Dummies fan for a couple of years, and have bought plenty of the books in the past. Not so much now, as book prices seem to keep getting more and more expensive. This book though, seems to be worth it (I suppose I could say the same for all the Dummies books I’ve bought in the past!)

Ciao for now, off to read my book.

Getting into reading again

Two days ago, I was rummaging through my closet and came across this computer book called Starting an Online Business for Dummies. Hmm, didn’t know I’d bought that book, must have done that a while back. So I picked it up and started reading…and reading…and reading. It feels a bit strange reading a proper book, as I’m usually reading newspapers and magazines.

I used to buy a lot of the For Dummies series in years past, when they weren’t as expensive as they are nowadays. I like the way they present the facts, interspersed with some humor and cartoons (Rich Tennant’s The 5th Wave is always brilliant). I remember buying Windows 98 for Dummies, Microsoft Office for Dummies, DOS for Dummies, Outlook for Dummies, etc. etc.

Anyway, Starting an Online Business for Dummies has given me some ideas. We’ll see what comes up.
