    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.

    @skipper-wJtaxo Jun 11, 2009

    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,

    If i go ask a book seller "Do u have Illiad or Odyssey?" he'll be like "We dont stock local authors sir"

    @sam: I have had the same problem. So I started reading e-books.

    I know that nothing beats the effect of a the "illustrative or non illustrative hard bound paper bag jacket or non jacketed with forward introduction, table of content, index, that is intended for the enlightenment, understanding, enrichment, enhancement and education of human brain's sensory route of vision" - kind of books...that we can take with us everywhere.

    But e-books is my latest addiction. 😀 Give it a try. There are plenty out there. (especially local authors..)

    Did anyone read [SIZE=-1]Sigmund Freud's seminal work on dream interpretation : The Interpretation of Dreams?

    Frankly speaking, I couldn't read beyond 150th page 😕

    [/SIZE]
    I just saw this post now, Biggie. I got the e-book for interpretations of dreams by beloved mr. Freud. It is quite intriguing but needs a hell lot of concentration and thinking. I couldnt sleep the first night i started reading it!

    Anything of Erich Maria Remarque. If you don't know what he wrote, I think it would be enough to say "All quiet on the wester front".

    The second recommendation goes to Bruno Traven and his writings. Try reading "The White Rose".

    Wow, awesome suggestions in this thread. 👍
    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!
