What Should I Read Next?

I read a lot. A whole lot. For the past one month plus, I had finished about 10 books in the Miles Vorkosigan Series written by Lois McMaster Bujold. I dubbed it as the “Space Opera” novels. Its about the life of an interesting characters whose wits and charms collected himself a bunch of people who works for him, with him willingly. He has the abilities to push thing thru you even though you don’t want it.

If you are short of something to read, try the above site, enter the current book you are reading and it might recommend something else that you might want to try.

Top Wedding, party songs
Came across this lists of song best used for parties and weddings. Although I have to disagree with certain songs.
CHICKEN DANCE VARIOUS ARTISTS
CHA CHA SLIDE DJ CASPER (This is crap to me, I actually heard it before.)
I think for the rest, you probably heard it on radio before.

Lifehacker’s guide to weblog comments by Gina Trapani
Most of us do comment on people’s blogs. Here are a guide to help you with your comment skills. I am sure if you read thru, you would probably think of people on your blog who fits into certain categories here.

I think the part about not posting when you are either angry, upset or drunk is true. This applies even to your own post. I read thru a few posts where people post up when they are angry, upset or drunk. Good thing about my feedreader is that it retains the post even after the person had taken it down when they calm down or sober up.

Here is a list of topics mentioned in the link.

Stay on topic.
Contribute new information to the discussion.
Don’t comment for the sake of commenting.
Know when to comment and when to e-mail.
Remember that nobody likes a know-it-all.
Make the tone of your message clear.
Own your comment.
Be succinct.
Cite your sources with links or inline quoting.
Be courteous.
Don’t post when you’re angry, upset, drunk or emotional.
Do not feed or tease the trolls.
