I've Seen a Lot of Famous People Naked, and They've Got Nothing on You!


Soooo... I went to Barnes & Noble today with my roommates because Alice wanted to find a GMAT book. Of course, I didn't mind because I wanted to swing by the children's section for some Paddington Bear literature ;) The first thing we noticed were bins of books all on sale for $1! Rummaging through, I found a book titled, "I've Seen a Lot of Famous People Naked, and They've Got Nothing on You!"

Yeah... I know, right? But quickly reading from the cover flap, I discovered it was a business entrepreneur book. Awesome! Skimmed oh-so briefly and decided to buy it. I looked up later on Amazon and it's listed at about $17. Oh good deal. :)

Oh, and about catering to my deprived-Paddington childhood? Fail. They only had ONE book about Paddington Bear. It turned out to be a novel and was a new story about him. I wanted to learn about this character from the beginning. Le sigh.

Paddington, the bear!












I never heard about such a character until this year. I instantly recognized Alex's Paddingbear stuff animal when I saw the little guy tucked away between the futon and Max's mean backside.

I forgot how my interest came about, but how can I resist learning more about him when this anthropomorphised little bear favors maramalade sandwiches and cocoa? I've gone to his website and got very little information about him and wish I can get my hands on some of these children books. I think I'll be curled up at B&N sometime reading these, for the sake of my deprived-Paddington childhood! :)
