Allain De Button's Status Anxiety is a quite interesting read. The book is full of original thoughts based on the author's observations.

We are living in a world where people are feeling increasingly anxious for their failures to meet expectations from those around you.

People know it's important to be earnest especially when you are in a job interview. The road to success is paved by effective pretentions.

Why do i feel like a complete mess sometimes when actually nothing has happened? Got to be the weather. The ceaseless rain. A real pain.

His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman. A must read! Never thought fantasy for young adults could be so mesmorizing.
