1. Reading is boring!
2. I'm not a book fanatic but you can check from this link which book is still missing in your collections. http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/bestseller/index.html
3. I recently read these books. 1. The Shack by WM. Paul Young. Thought-provoking. 2. Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson. Absolutely heartwarming. 3. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Riveting. 4. Desert Flower by Waris Dirie. A non-fiction. An inspiring story of how supermodel Waris Dirie triumphed over life's trials. Also highlights her cause against female genital mutilation as she herself is a victim of this appalling custom. 5. People of the Wolf by Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear. Historical fiction. It interestingly delves into the history of North America.
4. My FAVORITES are: 1. Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho 2. Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah 3. Boy Meets Girl by Joshua Harris 4. The Lullaby by Sarah Dessen 5. Falling for Rapunzel by Leah Wilcox
5. I ONLY READ THE DAILY RACING FORM.
6. 1. Alice in wonderland and 2. through the looking glass - lewis carroll 3. life of pi - yann martel, my current favorite 4. harry potter books - jk rowling 5. pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility - jane austen I also like the works of richard dawkins, jules verne and john birmingham
7. These are my top 5 book choices: 1. Art of War by Sun Tzu (on managing conflicts and winning battles) 2. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom 3. The Glass Castle by __ Walls (whether everything is 100% true, or some are fiction, still a good reading material) 4. How about some motivational/inspirational books? It's Not About Me or In the Grip of Grace (because i love Max Lucado's style of writing) 5. I'm thinking of something classic. Here are some websites listing classic books: http://pd.sparknotes.com/lit/ http://www.lifeoptimizer.org/2007/10/12/48-classic-books-to-boost-your-learning-experience/ Haven't read much of them but I'd go for "The Prince" by Machiavelli as my #5. I do not believe in the Machiavellian principle "the end justifies the means" and I haven't read this one yet. There's just something about it that makes me curious. For one, I want to personally judge if Machiavelli wrote it only to please the monarchy and set him free.
8. Most of the books I read are more on the self-help category. But I do remember the following books that have been memorable. 1. Animal Farm by George Orwell 2. Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach 3. King Rat by James Clavell 4. Jesus CEO by Laurie Beth Jones 5. Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren I tend to be partial to John Maxwell`s books like The 360 Leader, Becoming a Person of Influence, The Difference Maker, and Be All You Can Be. What did reading teach me? Proverbs 23:7 For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he. We will be defined by the books we read.
9. Read this, read this, read this: guaranteed satisfaction, guaranteed satisfaction, guaranteed satisfaction The Book Thief by Mark Zusak order the book by ebay or amazon
