Please PM or e-mail me direct if you want to borrow anything.

I have one important rule. I must get it back the way it was loaned, undamaged, unmarked, uncreased, unstained... pristine.

Respect my books and you're welcome to borrow them.

You sure have an eclectic collection.

[Liang Jieming]

Wait, I'll update the photos. That's only part of my collection.

[Tibet Libre]

1. Do you hava a scanner?

2. Do you have a list of your books?

2. Was "Highly effective people" actually worth the read?

[Liang Jieming]

I'm too lazy to type the whole list. I'm waiting for another 5 books to arrive from the US then I'll take another set of photos to post here. A lot of my newer books are not captured in the photos above (including those that were borrowed at the time I snapped the photos).

2. Was "Highly effective people" actually worth the read?

Hehe I don't know. Personally I found it just a lot of common sense, no big revelations or surprises in there.

Well yeah, Lord Baden Powell says to be prepared.... so I'm being prepared.
