I debated between that book and Blum ' s ' Killing Hope '. Went for Killing Hope as it is hard to spin it anyway other than he wrote it . Facts and just the well documented facts . Confessions of an Economic Hitman is a good book too though and worth a read if the topic is of remote interest to anyone . <| sep |> Very common in Cuba , especially to get a waiter ' s attention . They also hiss through their teeth . tsss ! <| sep |> I am currently writing a long prose style explanation of who I am and what I like , mainly for self reflection and clarity , but I think it will also be really interesting to read at a later date ! It got me thinking about as an adult , you are put in situations where you have a small amount of time to talk about yourself and expected to give a more or less wellrounded response , which I always seem to struggle with ! What sorts of things do YOU lead with or even just mention when describing yourself ? eg age , gender , hobbies , family history , etc . how do you prioritse these aspects ? purposely leave things out ?
