Book and Salad Days

It's become enjoyably chic for my young colleagues to read books and appreciate leafy salads. Most of the first time readers were influenced by the rage on Dan Brown's works. Now I'd get to exchange thoughts with them.. which is more interesting that the usual chatter. Here are some of my recommended must-read titles for readers of the yuppie age:

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
It's much better than the 'Da Vincci Code'. It's witty and fast-paced.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman
This I've yet to read but the author I already like from his Sandman series.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery
Life's profundities are simplified and expolained from the a child's point-of-view.

Who Moved My Cheese by Toni Morrison
A very short, and insightful read on personal success.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
Mind-opening. Practical advice on financial stability.

Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling
A good read. It gets more interesting, chivalrous and dark as the boy grows up.

Salad for lunch was an offshoot of the slim-trim vendetta of the noticeably heavy members of the Panda family in our team. We now experiment on dressings and leafy combinations.

Recommended dressings: Vinegrette and French dressing
Recommended extras for the green salad: hard-boiled egg (white only), tomatoes, olives, apples and grilled chicken breast.

nothing much here, 'cept that HP book 6 already has a working title, "Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince". Though the first character that comes to mind is our wizard boy himself, JK Rowling stated that this installment's title is not about Harry Potter or even Voldemort. Hmmm, something that all Potter fans should look forward to.
