This is my blog to document the books and other things I read.
I started this blog in 2010, when my initial my goal was to read 52 26 books (or more). Throughout the year, I updated the blog with a short summary of the book I read, point out the interesting comments I find, and otherwise profile the books I read by writing about them.
As of mid-2010, my attention has also shifted to pointing out interesting/notable journalism across the web. I am continuing this blog into 2011 and 2012 and seeing where it leads.
Who am I? My name is Eugene. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and with a Master’s degree in Bioengineering from California Institute of Technology. Most recently, I graduated with a Master’s degree in Quantitative and Computational Finance from Georgia Tech. I work in a finance field in the daytime, and a fair number of books/articles I share here will be finance-related.
I’ve always been a studious reader, but I haven’t actually blogged about the books I’ve read until now. I also enjoy writing quite a bit, so I think blogging about the books I read is a natural extension of combining my two hobbies. I’ve also come to realize that by blogging, I can connect with others who share similar interests. So if you’ve read any of the books I’ve read or want to shoot me a book recommendation, I would be very happy to hear from you.
When I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably capturing and/or posting photos on my photoblog, Erudite Expressions (updated several times a week). I am also a contributor to Open Culture, an educational blog.
