Is there a particular book that you are reading right now? If so, what is it and what made you interested in the book?

I am reading ‘The Journey Home’ by Radhanath Swami these days. In fact, I have read this book before and I am reading it again. This is one of the best books I have read till date.

Radhanath Swami is a prominent spiritual leader from ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness). The book is an autobiographical account. At the young age of 19, Radhanath Swami decided to go to India to seek his calling. The book traces his journey from America to Europe to India where he finally found his life’s true purpose in ‘Bhakti Yoga’.

I am reading a PDF copy of the novel that the movie will be shown in June. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. I am interested on the movie more than on the book, I wonder why. Maybe I am not in the mood on imagining what the story, I am more on the visible now.

Aside from that I am reading Chicken Soup for the Soul, Writers Inspiration. I am reading this one when I started to have a writer’s block. This book is about the summary of stories of the popular writers of our time, what are they life before, handling rejections, writer’s block and what brings them back to writing again. This one is really inspiring.

Right now, I am reading The Time Machine by H. G. Wells. It is about a scientist who built a time machine and about his journey into the future. I think he travels to 3400 or something like that. I cannot remember the exact year. But he describes what the people are like and how he is trying to get back to his own time.

I love reading different types of books and have tons downloaded to my Kindle app on my phone. @Grecy I love the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. There are some very good stories in them and they can be inspiring.  Many of the stories make me cry and get me emotional, but I still like them. I have not read one in a while though.

I am currently reading a book called “Follow the crow” written by B.B. Griffith. It’s about this Navajo cop named Ben, who is haunted by his past. His sister disappeared without a trace and the bad thing is his friend saw what happened. The friend refuses to speak up about what happens so he cast out of the Navajo reservation. That was the day the crows started following Ben. It seems that the crows know  a secret and they are trying to show Ben the way.

I am reading about how to read like Albert Einstein and what made me to be interested in the book is because of the stories I hear about Albert Einstein. There was a time I hear from my classmates that Albert Einstein only sleeps for two hours a year. I will be like thinking how a man created by God can just ready for more than 3000 hours. When I saw the book how to read like Albert Einstein, I was very happy because at least I can now know a lot about Albert Einstein and from the look I realized all I heard were rumours and are fake. I know Albert Einstein was a genius and I really want to be like him and this made me download many of his pictures and many of his quotes. Am interested in reading the book because I can now know the real history of Albert Einstein. I now know that Albert Einstein doesn’t read like my classmate said, I don’t think he read upto 200 hours a year. I also got to know that Albert was a dummy when he was little. He didn’t know anything as of when he was small and his teachers always complain to his parents. I also got to know about his whole educational background. Albert genuineness was not inborn but was actualized by him. There is thus quote of his I won’t forget and that is EDUCATION INTERFERES IN OUR LEARNING.  Am still reading the book as I tend to know new things about him everyday. The book is really voluminous. I study the book sometimes

One of the reasons I also read that book is the fact that the book talks a lot of Albert brain. I came to realize that after Albert Einstein died, his brain was taken by scientists to study. His brain was studied by most scientists around the world and uptil now scientists are still giving credits on the study experiment of the brain. But before now, some scientists have given a lot of their experimental results of his brain structure. I found out that the big head if Albert Einstein didn’t make his brain genuine . It was said by the scientists that he has a brain of the same size as am ordinary person and there is nothing  special about his brain. They quoted that what made his brain different from ours is how he used his brain and that is via reading and reasoning. Uptil now, an autopsy is still been carried out on his brain. When I was in secondary school, I also hear from my classmates that Albert Einstein was planning on creating an equation which can tell you the future but as for me I think it was a rumour hyping the man’s ability. I love the man and would like to be like him, would like to read like him, would like to reason and study like him though is not gonna be easy at all. It was from the book that I came to understand the full meaning of relativity and what it filly meant. I really love that book as am learning a lot about Albert Einstein from that book. Will keep giving you details about whatever new I found out about Albert Einstein.

In a little while, I am going to start Janet Evanovich’s Track twenty- two I believe it is called. I am reading it because I have read almost every Janet Evanovich’s number book. Plus I just got the new number 23 on my Kindle today that I preordered in February. I love the character Ranger in these books. If he were real ,I would be in love!

 

I would recommend any of these number books by Janet Evanovich as they are s funny, also. They are a mystery series

@morgoodie I started a Chicken Soup book for the soul a 4th helping of it but got involved in another book and didn’t finish it and cried through the whole first stories. They were all so sad or touching! Tha was the first one I have read any of them in a long time, like you.

I hardly find time to read these days. The only thing I read is the newspaper and a couple of magazines.

@JenniferDombrowski  I always cry when reading Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I don’t think a single story has left me with a dry eye. But they are such good stories.

I just finished reading Gillian Flynn’s book Sharp Objects and it was so good. I loved her other book Gone Girl. Sharp Objects was a little dark but I still got sucked into the story and finished the book in a day. I love books that you just can’t put down but then when you are finished with them you feel a little lost and empty.

Right now I am reading Lord of the Flies. A classic that I just never got around to reading when I was younger. It is interesting so far but I have not gotten very far into it yet.
