What book are you currently reading?
@rosle098 Thank you for asking! It is a simple but beautiful question- one that makes me reflect and gather my thoughts about what I have been reading.
So I have been reading a book by M. Scott Peck called 'The People of the Lie: Towards a Psychology of Evil'. He is exploring the landscape of what can be considered evil and defines aspects of it, along with a few case studies. But instead of looking at it from a religious perspective alone, he is looking at evil as a psychological problem, a problem that not many have dealt with scientifically AND with love. His warmth is very endearing and one can feel the deep love and concern he holds for these matters.
One of his other books (The Road Less Travelled) is very famous. You might like to check these out!
I would love to know what you have been reading.
Recently i brought 4 new books and i started to read one of them being Eleanor & Park! I'm still trying to decide which one of the 3 to read next! Nought's and crosses, paper town or the Percy Jackson series! hard choice :P
@rosie098

I am reading Eckart Tolles A New Earth, has anyone else read this?
Oprah turned me on to this book. Its spectacular. I took lots of notes.
@TamaHawk
Yes, I have read the book. I love to read anything by Eckhart.
He also has many great videos on youtube.
I'm reading harry potter- the order of the Phoenix and it's BRILLIANT
im also reading fantastic beasts and where to find them by j.k.rowling
@Tmb141311
I am too. I feel like its my favorite but the deathly hallows comes close secound.
Both are awesome, my personal favorite though might be the Prisoner of Azkaban
Am currently reading hunt for red October, its started off well. Is the movie better or the book sugeetions?
I haven't read the book, but my past experience suggests that it is always wise to read the book before watching the movie.
Because of limitations of time and other practicalities, the movie may miss out on nuances in engaging with the storytelling. Also, watching the movie after reading is preferable than the other way round, because you may not be able to engage with a book better if the plot is already on your mind.
If time is a concern, you are better off with the movie alone!
@intuitivePine7689
Hunt for Red October is such a good book!! I absolutely love the back-and-forth between the different elements of the story and how you see the pieces all fall together gradually! I really liked the movie (and I will admit it's one of those films that I like to watch on Friday nights after a long week), but the book just has an added capacity to move you around: from the USA to the USSR and through the seas (it was well done in the movie but it's even better in the book). Also the way things fall into place in the book is a bit more intricate than in the movie, I find. It got me into Tom Clancy novels and the sort, but I think that out of all the ones I have read it must remain my favorite so far.
Hello! I just finished reading 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald and I'll start 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' by Mark Twain tomorrow. The first was great but I doubt I'll like the latter. Can anyone that read it tell me more about what makes it interesting?
The Great Gatsby is a great book! :D
Huckleberry Finn is great because it unveils the audacity of bigotry through the innocence of children, while also giving an early example of a sort of anti hero in that Huck is a bit of a troublemaker and outsider, so he is endearing for being very individualistic yet “good”, in the end his not fitting in seems to be a reflection of what was wrong with society at the time and still is, in many ways. It’s also a classic adventure
Hey! Im reading one spanish boom called "Cambio de vida" Go learning spanish!! XD
Currently reading The Greek Myths by Robin Waterfield. Very interesting, the stories of the Gods have been retold in a less complicated way.
I'm in the middle of two books right now, both excellent.
Girl on the Train is a novel, with a Gone Girl type of feel (unreliable narrator, different points of view, jumps through time, mystery). Very engaging and a quick read.
Bad Feminist is a series of essays by Roxanne Gay about all manner of things, but generally relating back to social justice. All very well written, eloquent, enjoyable, and they just sing the truth.
I've read Girl on the Train... It's good, the jumping around I found a little annoying, but it's a good read.
I have read Gone girl. Though it feels little dragging and boring at start but as you keep reading you will find how twisted it actually is. Somewhere along the middle I suspected the ending but still it shocked me.
"The Center of Winter" by Marya Hornbacher. I absolutely love her as a writer and, don't get me wrong - the book is interesting, but it is no match to her previous autobiographical masterpieces 
I'm currently reading my old work-in-progress book, haha. I wrote it a year ago; it was meant to be a novel told in both prose and verse. It seems so awkward and strange to me now, but I kind of like the feeling... It reminds me that I'm growing.
I'm also reading Notes From the Underground by Dostoevsky. It's really interesting, although kind of tedious; really makes you think.
I'm not reading anything at the moment, but I just finished reading Evermore. It is an amazing book. Definitely 10/10, way better than I expected.
