Rolled the dice today, I usually do that when there’s too many choices. Like last friday, I flipped a coin if I should 1) go and listen to Den Stora Sömnen and get drunk with Stefan. Or… if I 2) should go home and go to sleep.
Luck said 2 and the day after I was happy about the choice that was given me. Next morning I woke up early, re-furnished my room and cleaned the apartment. Then I earned myself one hour at the gym, cleaned my office room and managed my receipts and invoices, paid bills.
I rolled the dice in the bookstore. So many choices…
- The Undercover Economist - Tim Harford.
- Hemlös, med egna ord - Situation Stockholm (Swedish book about homeless telling us how it is to be homeless).
- The Koran (yes - THE - holy script).
- The Illusion of God - Richard Dawkins.
- The Shock Doctrine - Naomi Klein.
- Buy all of the above.
I almost wished it would land on 6, but instead it landed on 1. Now I bought “The Undercover Economist”. This should be fun … from the introduction, there was a small paragraph about coffee, that made me interested. Do You know how to make a cappuccino?
“Your coffee is intriguing to the economist for another reason: he doesn’t know how to make a cappuccino, and he knows that nobody else does either. Who, after all, could boast of being able to grow, roast and blend coffee, raise and milk cows, roll steel and mould plastics and assemble them into an espresso machine and, finally, shape ceramics into a cute mug? Your cappuccino reflects the outcome of a system of staggering complexity. There isn’t a single person in the world who could produce what it takes to make a cappuccino.”
