Re: The best book ever
1. Personality plus for parents - Florence Littauer It talks about four different types of personality ; sanguine, melancholic, choleric and phlegmatic. This book discusses about how to approach people ( or kids) who have different personality. Good for a better communication among people. 2. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus-John Gray Ph.d It gives a better understanding about women and men communication. Some people say this might just some theory which is not practicable, but to me this book at least a better sight of how women and men think in some ways. 3. The Prophet - Kahlil Gibran A trilogy written by Kahlil Gibran tells about daily life; childhood, job, family, bread, children , clothes, marriages, selling etc. It teaches man the mastery of life. 4. Grand Avenue- Joy Fielding A novel which tells about the friendship among five women who have been bounded to a great friendship since they were teenager and lived at the same avenue. The friendship which continues to grow stronger after they all get married and have children of their own. But, as time passes by, one of them betrays the friendship in a very wicked way. The betrayal reveals years after two of the five women found murdered. The betrayal reveals in an unpredictable way. |

Re: The best book ever
i've not read any of the above but i am always looking for recommendations and so i will try and read at least one ... i love most books by Yukio Mishima - particularly Forbidden Colours (the first i read - thanks morbid) and The Sea of Fertility - that was amazing. he committed hara kiri after completing it. his books contain a lot of homosexuality, confusion, mind games, sinister actions but pure thoughts. i think Haruki Murakami is outstanding - the wind up bird chronicles and kafka on the shore in particular - i love the way he entwines the bizarre into everyday life - so very realistic. always thrilling reads i love Paulo Coehlo - especially The Road to santiago - the darkness, and passion has led him to so much goodness and sense - i definately admire his sentiments. another book that has this calming effect is Soul Mountain - so tranquil. then there's Wuthering Heights and Monkey (Wu Cheng-en) - i adore the character Heathcliffe in the former, the passion, the anger, eros as it is meant to be. but i love the comedy, mystery and tradition in the latter. i also love autobiographies, particularly based during communist china, such as Wild Swans. This is still my all time favourite in this genre. |

Re: The best book ever read
I have read good books, for example One hundred years of Solitude of Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombian). But today I want to share a story of Jorge Luis Borges (Argentine) whose title is the Encounter and is the narration of a fight between two knives that used to the men like instrument to fight among them. The knives had memory of revenges and resentments and hatreds of the past when the knives had other owners, two rivals until death who never became to find until they died. And somebody finds in the present to the knives that were kept by centuries and a fight between two men with the death of one of them at the end of the story forms. Very interesting. |
