What Do You Like To Read?

[Denv12]

Most of us like to read when we feel up to it. Anything from a newspaper,magazine to a good book,etc.

I love reading. I figured while I've got health issues and therefore time I may as well improve my life somehow.

I like self help books. I have a few books on Acupressure,which I started buying this year.I learnt a lot from these books which directed me towards other things. I've needed to learn/relearn social skills so I buy books on dating/how to meet women so I can at least learn those skills.    I've bought several books lately.  As a guy I love reading books on cars and how to type mechanical work,restorations,etc.Then I bought books on spraypainting as well.

Books by Allan Pease are always good for self improvement. 2 books I recommend of his are:

1)Talk Language.

2)Write Language.

Both great books.

I like to read up on books on how to run a business and franchising.Interesting topics.Then human resources,etc.Lot of great books out there.

I find that reading just keeps your mind active and occupied.Its comforting.

Your turn. What do you like to read?

Hey Denv12, great topic!

I tend to read a lot of novels and comedy books as distractions and a form of entertainment. As my name suggests, I absolutely adore C.S Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia, but I also enjoy John Green's novels, Beau Taplin's poetry and Ellen Degeneres' biographies. I have a pretty wide range of books, my whole house is filled with over-full bookshelves, and I also read a lot of both entertainment and informational magazines, particularly Rolling Stone.

Reading is definitely a brilliant distraction tool for anxiety and depression, as well as being able to learn or be entertained while you're doing it!

Hi Denv12 and Narniakid

Great question!

I love biographies and memoirs.  I also read a lot of comedy and I'm very passionate about health, cooking and psychology so I read a lot of those books too.  One of my favourite books is 'The last lecture' by Randy Pausch and 'Tuesdays with Morrie' by Mitch Albom.

I also love Beau Taplin - I haven't read any of his books but I see a lot of his work online and fall in love with it.

I love science fiction/fantasy books (something a little magical) it's nice to escape to a different world for a while.

Anyone into crime fiction? I'm looking for some new books? I've read all Patricia Cornwall, Stuart McBride, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid & range of Scandinavian novels. I usually keep up with latest books but havnt read a crime book for several months. Any recommendations? I like thrillers

Thanks!

I'm an avid reader. Mostly Fantasy/Sci fi, and some true crime, and humor.

Hi Mares,

I haven't read the authors you have so I am not sure how it would compare but Vince Flynn writes political thrillers that are quite good. David Baldacci writes thrillers too, they are good but a very easy read. Duane Swierczynski writes crime fiction. I read the Charlie Hardy Trilogy that begins with "Fun and Games", it was written in a different style than I have read before and I enjoyed it.

Hi Grok,

Who are you favourite sci fi/fantasy authors. Always keen to hear what people like.

Cheers,

Carol
