Books set the mind on the road to freedom and understanding. So what are you reading right now? Tell a bit about it as well. Right now I'm reading a couple of books: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig and No Man is an Island by Thomas Merton. Both are very heavy but full of knowledge which is always a plus.

The Monk Who Sold His Ferarri sounds like it could be a pretty good read. Let me know how it is.

Its pretty engrossing ! Kind of the book you pick up and find it very difficult to put down till you've read it up till the end..
Working on it along with the other books :0)
Will keep you posted :)

I am scatter-brained and so I'm never reading only one book. I'm currently reading "The Pearl Book" (one of the Antoinette Matlin's guides) to learn more about these beautiful gems. I'm also reading a textbook for fun, called "The Biology of Women". So far it's gone through anatomy and menstrual cycles.
I just finished reading "Wolves Among Sheep" which is about murder in the Jehovah's Witness community. It's a true story and I would highly recommend it!

A text book for fun? Okay. I actually do that sometimes too, If it's something i'm interested in at the time. And as for scatter-brained, I totally know what you mean. I've usually got a bout three or four books going at once. I'm scatter-brained in most areas of my life but right now I'm working towards cleaning my life and my mind of clutter and trying to bring in some order and discipline. And perhaps one day I'll have to read that "Wolves Among Sheep" that you so highly recommend. Thanks a lot for your reply. Peace.

Nice. I've read a bit of Lewis and I think I'm soon going to read his book "Till We Have Faces" which I've heard is really good. I haven't read the Problem of Pain.

I'm reading a book called "Thriller. It's edited by James Patterson. But, they are a bunch of short stories by other authors.

Short stories are good. Who are some of the authors in the book?

by Ayn Rand. Good for you. I haven't read anything by her as of yet, but she's definately on the horizon. Tell me what you think of it.
