I am reading a book on careers. Sorry I can't remember the authors. It is quite interesting because the authors argue that careers, being work experience, happened since humans exist. In those days, your career centre on finding food for himself/family.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall - Anne Brontë.

They Called Me Mad - John Monahan.
- This is not a fiction, but, true stories about genius/mad scientists of the past.

Interesting. I knew about the more well known Bronte sisters, Charlotte and Emily, but never knew they had a younger sister Anne or that they had other siblings who were authors too. I saw the last name and had to google it to see if she's related to the other Bronte sisters. I read Anne died of pulmonary tuberculosis at a very young age like my current age and the novel you're reading is her last novel.

I am reading Life of Pi after watching the movie. I wished I read the novel first now because I already know the ending and already have the movie's imagery in my mind. Do you guys usually prefer to read the novel first or watch the movie adaptation first? I think I tend to prefer the former so that my own imagination is not tainted by what someone else's interpretation is.

且试天下 starts off well, but the latter half lost focus. I think it had a lot more potential than what it develops into.

Same. It's particularly difficult for me to visualize the characters as the author intended rather than a particular director/actor's interpretation after watching the movie first. I'd prefer my first impression to be based upon the text alone.
