      The Law on Obligations and Contracts
      The Law on Income Taxation

      I believe these two should be part of Gen. Ed. subjects in college. Mas may pakinabang sa ordinary people than science subjects (lalo na kung hindi naman science ang course mo).

      Quite an old book, but The Broker by John Grisham is a novel I go back to from time to time. Everything was just very appealing to me: the pacing, the action, the details, the storytelling, the plotlines. It is not perfect, but it is good enough for me to get re-reading every now and then.

      For a short story, it is The Bet by Anton Chekhov. This kinda solidified reading for me as a leisurely pursuit in my younger years, although R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps really got me into reading in my toddler-ish years.

      For Non-Fiction, Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is a great read, as well as Atomic Habits by James Clear.

      For something light and funny, I would recommend John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces. Now, the humor is a hit or miss, but it is entertaining to read.

      F. Sionil Jose is a great local author I would want to recommend, as I am getting into reading Filipino Literature. I’ve only read one of the Rosales Saga series of novels, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of the series. Though I am not sure about the reading order.

      May you peacefully enjoy your reading time.

      Nag enjoy ako sa Cosmere series ni Brandon Sanderson. Discworld series ni Terry Pratchett is very good din
