Does anybody else read any books?
I guess I’d have to admit that I’m a serious nerd
I’m currently reading “How to read a book” by Mortimer J Adler
And just recently finished
“Outliers”
By Malcolm Gladwell.
I really enjoyed “Outliers” a lot, and am starting to get into “how to read a book” which is more of a tougher read.
Does anybody have any favourite books they’d like to mention ?
One of my all time favourites is How to win friends and Influence people by Dale Carnegie.
We recently installed a Little Free Library outside our house. My talented friend painted it. I love little libraries and they are fun for our neighborhood. Can’t wait for our grandson to visit, he will love it.
I never read before sobriety. I love reading now. I started reading the Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler last night. I try and mix up fiction, non fiction and a recovery book approximately every three books that I read.
I love reading,have done since I was a little girl and like anything from fantasy to real life to love stories. Harry Potter is obviously near the top of my list Bill Bryson as already mentioned is a fantastic author,I also like James Patterson & Stephen King…always looking for recommendations or new authors to try so I’ll be keeping a close eye on this thread
I imagine what you mean. I read it on holiday and didn’t have much else to read. I found it interesting though as it covered find I knew little about at the time. An I right in thinking it’s a true story but classed as fiction due to the guards repeatedly destroying it whilst he was in prison or was I bs,d in to thinking that
Anything by Wally Lamb is a winner.
All time favorite is Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck. The most beautiful writing, really. Siddartha by Hermann Hesse is also a standout for lovely prose.
I love historical fiction, classics, well…pretty much anything other than crime/mystery stuff.
I like that genre on the TV.
I have kept a spreadsheet of my reading for over 20 years and it makes a pretty telling graph of how much I’d been drinking at any given moment in time. Not much reading when I’ve been drinking.
