The Rocksburg Railroad Murders by K.C. Constantine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mario Balzic is the chief of police in a small Pennsylvania town. He’s an oddball in that he doesn’t even carry a gun, usually. When a senseless murder occurs at the railroad station, and there are no witnesses, Mario must rely on his wits and knowledge of psychology to direct him to the likely killer. Constantine writes very realistic fiction. This is not a glamorous or exciting detective novel, compared to most detective novels. The small-town setting makes it different from most police procedural, also. All the dialogue seems very true-to-life, and the characters are drawn by someone who knows people. The story drew me in further and further as I read. One gets the feeling that Constantine himself must live in a small Pennsylvania town like Rocksburg, just to be able to bring this kind of local flavor to the dish. This is the place to start if you’re interested in this series, since it’s the first novel in the set.

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After finishing this book, i thought of my late father who died with cancer as well back in 2013. Dealing with the fact of death is unsettling. Yet there is no other way to live. This book’s tremendous impact comes from the obvious fact that Dr. Kalanithi was such a brilliant polymath. And part comes from the way he conveys what happened to him in the book of his life passionately working and striving, deferring gratification, waiting to live, learning to die – so well. None of it is maudlin. Nothing is exaggerated. As he wrote to a friend: “It’s just tragic enough and just imaginable enough.” And just important enough to be unmissable.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After done reading the book, I find out why he named his book “Death Clutch”. You can learn a lot from Brock who came out from farm in Dakota to Hollywood and become a rock star. I will definitely recommend this book to young youth to learn about his life and how Brock achieved everything what he wanted.

This book is that kind, you will not feel bored and you will learn a lot from this guy about life, how you should stick with your family and what you want to achieve in life.

Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World by Adam M. Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finished the book in two days. Here is a big heads up, you going to read over 1000 times the word “original”. Although the book has some great advice and hope to read their other book “Give and Take”. The book was very easy to read obviously after I have rad “Absalom, Absalom”. Haha Anyway, do I recommend this book? Originally definitely Yes!! especially for some one whose looking into starting a business. Originals will help you, motivate you, inspire you to become successful entrepreneur.

P.S. Excellent book for IT entrepreneurs.
