I’m a voracious reader, but I read for fun, y’all are way too deep for me! My all-time favorite book is Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett, but I have many others that would be a close second, such as The Drifters, James Michener.

I need to read more of his works.

If you like Game of Thrones or The Humger Games try this series: Throne of Glass. Its the perfect blend of mystery and fantasy and all the books are out. :om:

The Stand was great. The Artists Way is suppose to be great. I’m now reading Staying Sober Without God which is a practical approach to the 12 steps. Really good…

For those who appreciate Stephen King’s work, he has a great non fiction book called, “On Writing”…not only does it discuss how he came to writing, but he also discusses his old issues with cocaine and alcohol.

Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching, as translated by Stephen Mitchell.

Or for this audience, a member here turned me on to Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life by Wayne Dyer. It has some excellent mediations and daily actions to go with each verse. :+1:
