Let's get a bit scholarly here. Just tell us the name of the book you just finished reading or is currently reading now. School book text included.

Just finished last nite: All the President's Men (about Watergate scandal)
Just starting : Casino (made into movie with De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci, directed by Martin Scorsese, i guess you know that).

What about the rest here? Magazines regularly read not included :D
I'm reading Charlotte and Wilbur by E. B. White, I read this book for my daughter every night, cartoon characters in this context are very lively and kind.

just finished to read Hedge Knight, Sword Sword, Mystery Knight, the Princess and the Queen, Rogue Knight in last 2 weeks

now i'm reading World of Ice and Fire
Hedge Knight has Art which is good, and text is mostly from the book but George's inspired storytelling does not lend itself to this cheap format. It ain't Spiderman.

Absolutely worthy of the high quality that was set by The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword.

Island of shame

(not foor schoolbook muricans)

some journalists even say that lost Malaysian plane has landed over there

intro

some chapters in pdf
The author writes passionately about the first issue. His arguments are well made but given the geopolitical realities, there is very little that will change in the near future.

I Love it! It was incredible 🙂! Pericles and Lycurgus of Sparta are must read biographies. This book is a five star read.

Loved the movie never got around to reading the book until now.
The details thst book goes into both about what was shown in the movie and not shown were great. Lots of back story here on Frank and Tony which made for some good reading.
If you are a fan of the movie you'll love this book

I recently started reading Carl Jung's Red Book off a friends recommendation. The book consists of Jung's metaphysical exploration of his unconscious self compared to his conscious self and expressed through hundreds of pages of gothic calligraphy and his own paintings to compliment his insights. The book had remained unpublished until 2009 and without even considering the material inside the book is a great feat of artistry. It's a good asset to anyone looking to dive deep into their own mind though be warned, the book is massive in size if you go for the hardcover. Its not a normal textbook to which I assumed upon purchase. though the full scale scans of the calligraphy and paintings makes it well worth to study.

Attached is a size comparison to Arabian Nights, a standard leather bound hardcover book.

Big Carl GustaveJung enthousiast here.

Try to delve deeper into his lucid dreaming stuff. It’s been a life changer for me. The awakening you get, is the same as described like taking ayahusca.
It’s positive on all fronts.

He is probably one of the most underrated philosophers (life coaches or whatever you call them) evers. At the level of Ibn Khaldun, Nietzsche…

If you like this book, try his Memories, Dreams and reflections.
