閱讀能增長知識，但是有沒有人真正思考過，「閱讀本身是什麼？」是一種私人喜好？是一種放鬆 ? 還是一種個人增值？儘管如今已是網絡資訊滿天飛的年代，書籍(實體書或電子書)依然是有市場。讀者只須花點時間消化作者放於書中的資訊, 融合讀者的生活經驗、閱歷、書中知識化為己有，讀者就能比不看書的人在思想精神上經歷多一個人的人生。

Book:人間失格 作者 太宰治 〈人間失格〉是作者的代表作之一，一九四八年在雜誌《展望》上作為全三回的連載小說發表。同年五月十二日完稿。〈人間失格〉一書以某作家為口吻寫成。這三本筆記的作者大庭葉藏寫了自己從青少年到中年，如何酗酒、沉溺女色、參加「非法」左翼團體、企圖自殺。主人公稱自己十分懼怕「人類」，只能在其面前冒著被揭穿的風險而終日演戲；曾因注射嗎啡過量被送進病院，又曾被送進精神病院。

Book: User story mapping (Amazon) is a valuable tool for software development, once you understand why and how to use it. 其實User Story的重點是在於溝通。也就是希望程式設計師和顧客好好坐下來，一起談論想要的功能是什麼，想要拿它來解決什麼問題。也就是真正去了解整個來龍去脈，而並不是花時間去把文件寫的盡善盡美。
