Thanks Ritz,

What better a friend can one find than a book? That too a book that educates, englightens, and opens up a new window to the world. At least you go on a ride to remember and not taken for a ride to rundown.

I had missed a lot of them. Remember their authors partially or remember the names partially.

But if you are a fan of beautiful writing, kindly do not miss Ron Rash and "Saints at the River"

Rgds,

maybe early retirement can help me😆 

All the time in the world..... i just finished it 3 days ago and still i didnt get over it. The first book that didnt just touch my heart.... but dominated it. I have never really gotten so much affected by any book ever.... but this one is the first that made me literally cry continuously. VERY MOTIVATING!

Hi Friends!!!

Book reading is good habit.I feel all should try to develop that habit right from childhood.This is entirely in the hands of parents.Let me suggest the books I've read:

INDIRA by Katherene Frank

The Insider By Shri P.V.Narasimha Rao

Straight from the Gut by Jack Welsch

Freedom at Midnight by Dominique and Larry Collins

Prime Ministers of India by Janardhan Thakur.

cheers,

What an inspiring post.

So many of us who love books and share their experiences.

Enough books named to fill my reading-agenda for a couple of years to come.

And not only novels! Will learn something too!

Sadly my time of addiction to reading lays deep in my past, digging it up proves a bit difficult.

I remember a book of Suzanne Valadon, mother of painter Maurice Utrillo. An autobiographic book on her life as a painter among other impressionists in Paris. I read and reread it, several times. Such life I also wanted...

Harry Potter, also nice to share with my daughters.
Da Vinci Code, interesting, nice to read, but no impact on me
1984 - suffocating warning to us all

Mythili thanx for this post.

Regards, Maria
