How I choose my most favorite books, among many.
Followers, friends and my girlfriend alike often wonder how I decide to choose my favorite books. Please, it’s like choosing the only apple from a basket of apples.

An incomplete dreamy list of books I’ll greedily read next year, half of it I own, while I still have to hunt for the remaining treasures. My to-read/to-finish books started to form a miniature mountain inside my room, it serves as a constant reminder of how sluggish bookworm I turned into this 2011 and I’m quite ashamed of that, I don’t say it often but it hurts my ego whenever...
