If yes, what is one of your favourite books? Or if no have your say! I love reading, but struggle with it at my worst concentration wise… one of my favourite books is ‘wild’ by Cheryl Strayed, I actually got to meet her last year at a local literature festival, she was all Id hope she’d be. I love biographies particularly when recovery is involved. My favourite fiction book is much harder to decide, too many!

I love reading. Well, I used to. Now I can hardly read 2 pages. My favourite author is Paulo Coelho.

Prometheus Rising - Robert Anton Wilson. Really puts you pondering about the nature of reality. Really good book for self introspection.

I have a similar issue, i used to be able to read chapters at a time but right now I struggle with a few pages. I bought ‘the devil and Mrs pryme’ by Coelho they had a selection in a used book store I go in. Is the Alchemist as good as people say it is? It’s one that comes up on my kindle recommendations a lot. I hope you can read more soon.

I love reading.

My favorite books are probably: Siddhartha, All Quiet on the Western Front, Divided Soul - the biography of Marvin Gaye, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird and Ironweed.

I haven’t read in a while, but the books I mentioned are always ones that pop into my mind when I am asked ‘what is your favorite book?’

Take care :v:

I love reading, but I don’t really take the time to read books anymore.
It’s a shame, because it feels like my brain relaxes when I read.

My favourite sci-fi books are “The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy” and the others in the series.

My favourites also include “The clan of the cavebear”-books, and the “Little house on the prarie”-books.

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is one of my favorite scifi books :slight_smile: Or ‘scifi’ but was so humorous I’m still laughing about it :smile:

I enjoy reading but can’t really manage it anymore with the meds and negatives. I still try, though.

Hey I have that waiting for me at the bookstore. I’m going to read it as part of my self help / magic collection. I also found a copy of initiation into hermetics by franz bardon online.

Initiation into hermetics is an awesome book. He has a different style of reaching elemental equilibrium. Inside his techniques he says to breathe in the different elements to establish this. It’s pretty interesting. Read it back a long time ago. There were also other interesting things in it.

I am a bit sad that theoccult.bz went down. It had all the great occultistic books dating since the dawn of time.

…I can read for hours sitting on my laptop, but I don’t have the concentration to read paperback books…is anybody else this way? maybe I need to get me a kindle.

I don’t have any favorite books yet, generally I read non-fiction novels, and I’m always happy when I find a book that explain things with simple language…like investing books

I don’t read as much as I have at times in the past, but I still enjoy perusing a good book. My niece sent me a couple of good books recently - the new translation of “Anna Karenina” and “The Sympathizer”. A guy named Viet Thanh Nguyen wrote “The Sympathizer”. He got the Pulitzer Prize for it.

I love to read. My guilty pleasure was reading Christine Feehan’s Leopard series. They have a lot of adult scenes, though, and I decided that I wanted to be a better Christian, so I donated all of her books to the library. I still think about them often, especially when a new one comes out and I see it at the store. I want to read them, but I am sticking to my guns!

Can you read booklike pdfs on your laptop or simply many short articles or wikipedia pages?

mostly short articles and such. I do occasionally read pdfs and they hold my attention more so than paperbacks for whatever reason…

I just learned I can download a kindle app from amazon and begin exploring their titles

this should give me something to do all day
