Read any good books lately??

Over the last two months i have read quite a few books. I love reading. Since i have travelled extensively this summer reading was all i did on flights and whenever i had an opportunity to. One book i would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys philosophy, and is in touch with there spiritual side is, "By the River Piedra I sat Down and Wept." It's written by Paulo Coelho and is absoloutely amazing. I loved it. It's a book that you can definitely relate to your own life.

If you are more interested in modern romance a good book is "One for my Baby," by Tony Parsons. It's really good. It's a story of, love, loss, and starting over. It's a very good read and definitely a tear-jerker.

Now if your into really hard core romance, "The Notebook." by Nicholas Sparks is soooooo good. It will make you cry. It's very sweet. It's also been made into a film. If you haven't watched the movie yet, read the book first and then watch the movie.

I am currently reading "Blindness," by Jose Saramago, which so far is very interesting. I love reading so if you've read a book lately that you really enjoyed let me know. It may be my next read.

I think that too often we take books for granted. We either don't have time to read or we just forget that there are people in this world who don't have the same access we do. Let's share the wealth and our knowledge. Recycle your books. Donate them to your local libraries, schools, or recreation centres when your done with them.

A friend told me about this book 'The Giver' if I remember well its about a society without colour or music. Quite interesting, couldn't find it here in Brazil though..

I've been trying to get my hands on "Ella Minnow Pea" all summer. I finally ordered it online. It's definitely one I plan to recycle to many many friends.

karakush by Idris Shah. It is a novel set in Afghanistan, so relevant, profound. I was left silent for two days after finishing.

Thanks Everyone!!
Thank you for sharing with me all of the wonderful books you all have read. I am excited to read them now! I'm going to go to the book store and see if i can get a few of them sp when i'm done reading my current book i get started on a new one. Another good book that's fresh off the press this month in Toronto is "Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress" written by Dai Sijie. I bought it but have not yet read it. It promises to be a comical yet profound read.
