2 Books

Randomly picked up a book which I bought a while ago, 尋訪東西哲學的境界 by 梁燕成. It is surprising not boring (compared to another one I bought together). He went through all the different philosophies in the East and the West, using a lively first person conversation mode which is easy to understand, and ultimately tried to reach the conclusion that Christianity goes beyond all those philosophies and includes the spirits in them. I am only a third way through the book, and can't wait to finish it. Given that I am kind of tired of the endless bible studies and sermons which seem to repeat things unrelated to my life over and over again (largely due to my ignorance perhaps), this book may inspire me to look at Christianity from a different perspective, and start to look for more readings which can broaden my understanding about the religion.

Recently got the Feel 100% #16 from Hong Kong, the final one. I am glad that it has finally ended. I still remember it was published once a year during my highschool days, which was well over 17 years ago. After that it got to the market less and less frequently, and I think I have waited this one for over 2 years. After finishing the finale prompted me to read some of the older issues again. And interestingly, even for a comic book like this, I perceived new things. Most notably, for some of the behavior of characters in the book, I can now see them happening among my friends around. And I can now understand some of those behaviors which I used to think only happens in movies or novels.
