Books I Like
On Travel:
“Tales of a Female Nomad. Living Large in the World” by Rita Golden Gelman. If you are a backpack traveler with no great need for the luxury, huge desire to see the world, live with the locals, learn new customs and the language, this book is for you.

“The 4-Hour Workweek” by Timothy Ferris
I saw this book at Costco and thought that the title seems like a joke, and it can’t be serious! But when I’ve opened and read it, I could not put it back. If you ever even had a thought about starting a business, no matter what it is, you’ve got to read it. First 100 pages are mostly about changing the way we live and think, and then it’s a goldmine of the information. How, where, when and why explained in details, including the process of reasoning, negotiating and making a decision. He also has a website, which is an additional well of the information. So, even if you don’t want a business and have a busy life as it is, it still may teach you a few things. Or give it to somebody, who may need it. I highly recommend it.
