| | | Someone give me something to read!
Ok, I need a new book.
My list of favorite authors include, but are definitely not limited to:
Agatha Christie (read all of her books numerous times)
Dan Brown
Lillian Jackson Braun (read them all)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Shakespeare
Classic literature
Mysteries, suspense, action, some romance (not too much - its got to be real!  ), classics....
Just finished The Last Templar (wasn't all that impressed) and The Picture of Dorian Gray.... I need new material!
(Oh, favorite book is The Scarlet Pimpernel and all other books by Baroness Orczy - haven't read them??? Please do... its WELL worth it!)

Very interesting , have any of you read it? |
M, I am very familiar with this book and have read it a couple of times. Its ideas laid out in the book are basic common stuff. However, he does a good job of pulling basic ideas together in an easy to read, easy to apply kind of way. You know it wasn't ground breaking, ideas but its worth the hour out of your day to read, if just once.
Good suggestion, have you purchased The Notebook, yet? | |

Hi K............yeah I agree , I actually found it quite amusing the way he gets the point across. I gave it to one of my friends who was going through a bit of a bustup and he found the whole idea of it beneficial to his moving on. I think when people are on a bit of an emotional Roller coaster the book can help them because it explains an easy concept really well , and like you say it only takes about an hour to read.
Haven't got The Notebook yet but I will for sure.
Hope your feeling better today :-) | |
