Library Opening

I must admit, I didn't took the time to read all this material, at the moment. As a lead start and to forgive myself, I would say that this is also a place to keep an eye on all of them. Pick yours, and start or continue reading. I regularly say to myself that rather than buying a new car or material stuff with my first salary, I would have done better investing in myself on the long run buying quality books like those below. Like always, don't hesitate to comment or to come discuss about your readings.

"Think before you speak. Read before you think." Fran Lebowitz

Thinking about thinking, I will have a try with the Amazon Kindle in order to save a few bucks and space with professional books. I will write my experience later here. However, If you are new to this, and think those books are quite expensive, let's agree: you are right. Also, can we agree on the fact that you can have a start with free ones.
