If you could recommend 3 books to anyone, what would they be?

Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis and Larry Sloman

This is one of the best biographies I've ever read in my life. The pain, the struggle, and the ups and downs are things that connect and inspire me.

No One Here Gets Out Alive by Jerry Hopkins and Danny Superman

Another biography that shaped the way I view the world, relationships, and society.

tellmewhy by Karlssonwilker Inc.

(I loved reading about) The sarcasm, puns, and struggles of the studio's first 24 months.

What are you reading now?

Shoe Dog by Phil Knight

I am now reading Shoe Dog by Phil Knight. I don't know yet what is next. It's pretty spontaneous which book I will pick up. But probably another biography.

What is your favourite bookstore or library?

I usually go to Kinokuniya or Asia Books whenever I visit the department stores here in Bangkok. But lately all purchases have been online from Amazon, Book Depository, or Kickstarter projects.
