  • The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Timothy Ferriss)

Actually, there are more than the above 20 books that I wanna read.. but the sad fact is that the libraries in Japan are very English-unfriendly.. and I seriously doubt I could find any of these books in my university's library... That is one main reason why I really missed the libraries in Singapore... :(
