Paulo Coelho or Robin Sharma; it's all dime store philosophy, without any redeeming value whatsoever. It's worse than those support groups for testicular cancer. But people seem to like simplified fortune cookie wisdom, dressed up as neo-theological claptrap thrown at them. If there ever is a book burning nearby, I would incinerate these abominations by the truckload.

Well, I never thouught someone could bash Paulo Coelho since his books are about 70% shorter than all the other selfhelp books. And its a very very different book.
You couldnt believe me if I told you that book can even be related to Telepathy, The paranormal, Neo-paganism and well, God!
The one by Paulo Coelho Im talking about is The Alchemist. I still have to read fauntain head, ive heard its really good.

I'm a SF fan from when I first went to a public library. I've reread a few classics, like Harrison, Niven and Asimov, I like stories about time-travel because I like to deconstruct the travel-method. Often the details are skipped and the hero or villain just steps into another time somehow.
Recent additions to my fave stack of writers who have come and gone as I buy or borrow books are China Mieville (deliciously dark alternate world with no electricity, but magic instead and parts of the world where previous civilisations got too arrogant about how to control it with consequences for that civilisation and parts of the world). Mieville uses a gothic style to discuss QM thermodynamics and alternate time-zones (magic holes in the planet), a story "The Scar" encapsulates a narrative style (3rd person) and a captive journey. The captive or protagonist has very little choice, even to return to "civilisation" is a problem for her, since New Crobuzon is very corrupt and she's on a wanted-for-questioning list by the authorities, a vast conglomerate "Mayorship" run by a dictator for life who resembles the arch corporate villain with an army of private mercenaries. All quite entertaining though and well written.
Another more serious book I'd like to recommend is "God Created The Integers", edited by S. Hawking. It starts with Euclid and goes through the 17th, 18th, 19th centuries and the 20th has Turing, Godel, and so on. Cauchy, Dedekind, Lebesgue have chapters. All the entries are in the original idiom but translated, so some of it means shifting the meanings of phrases like "in extremum" which generally means "limit" or "highest power", and so on. The last few chapters are thought-provoking and you get a chance to review original published work and think about it all by yourself, instead of because you have that lecture tomorrow,

In it, the famous detective Hercule Poirot is hot on the tail of the most powerful criminal organisation in the world. It is headed by four people, who are powerful in their own right. But become more powerful when they come together. Must read for people who love thrillers and suspense novels. This has it all, including a spectacular climax.

It's been a long time I read a book. Should pick up one today!
I had read this book, 'Three Feet From Gold' by Greg S. Reid and Sharon L. Lechter.
Whenever I fail at an attempt, the message from this book and the quote by Sir Thomas Edison, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.", gives me enough boost to Never Give Up!
