Recommended Books

If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads (Ralph Waldo Emerson May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882). 

We have always been told that reading is good. It opens up your world. However, do we need to spend a bomb to stock up our home library?

To me, no matter how big your house is, it will never be as big as the library. If you limit your children to only books you store at home, you are limiting their knowledge.

Singapore’s public libraries are quite well-stocked although the popular books can be quite worn-out

If you those that have to have fresh-smelling and crispy books, you may try to buy from amazon or book depository.
