What are your favourite books? Share your recomendations here
My favourite book is Man Search For Meaning by Dr Victor Franks. This book is the has river of emotions in it and it will definitely affect your emotional intelligence. How to survive in life is the main theme of this book. Positivity, spirituality, empathy and emotional intelligence coaching are some key points to get successful in life.
Hi! I’m new here so I don’t really know how this forum works but I love reading books!
I really suggest reading “Children of Blood and Bone” series! It consist of two amazing books, soon to be three and has a fiction fantasy theme. And it will soon be turned into a movie!
Is anyone else into fantasy books aswell! 😃

currently reading the boy who was raised as a dog - which is a fascinating and engaging book on childhood trauma cases and links to the brain
i want to read - before the coffee gets cold because it's a japanese book and i love japanese culture!!
I've read a few books since I last posted here 😛
Currently halfway through The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker by Joanna Nell, which I'm really enjoying! I loved her first book (The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village) so had to check out her latest work 😄
started reading the girl in the window very interesting and the mystery in it makes you want to read all day long. totally worth the read
My favourite book of all time is The Book Thief - Markus Zusak.
It is honestly such a beautiful story and really stuck with me since I first read it. I haven't read it in a few years because I'm just too excited to read new books. I always have an internal battle between wanting to re-read old books I've loved and wanting to start new books! New books generally win but I should definitely make time to re-read stories I've loved.
What does everyone else do when it comes to deciding between reading old or new books?
I'm on Daring Greatly by Rene Brown at the moment but the book that got me into reading again was Sage's Eyes by VC Andrews 🙂
The Kite Runner is also one of my faves @hunginc! I love how vividly he was able to depict growing up in Afghanistan. Have you read any of his other works?
I’ve read a few books since I last posted here.
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. TW for verbal abuse with this one - I must admit I didn’t see the ending coming and feel like it could’ve been done a bit better. The rest of the book was fantastic though.
The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom. LOVED it - his books are always a joy to read and I love the philosophies embedded within them.
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. TW for sexual assault and domestic violence with this one. I’ve almost finished reading it and think I figured out who the murderer is about halfway through, but it’s great at keeping you hooked 😛 HBO have also made a TV show out of it, but I haven’t watched because I hate that it’s set in the US (the book is originally Australian)
I've now nearly finished Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton. Has anyone else read it? It's quickly become a bit of an Aussie classic!
Can anyone recommend one of the 'classics' that is actually good? I mean everyone has differing opinions and tastes and I don't mean to insult classic enthusiasts, but I feel like a lot of classics I have read are quite mundane.
Does anyone recommend a 'classic' that you really like?
@indieinsanus haha more than fair, some classics can be a bit dry to say the least 😛 i have some favs that took me foreveeerrr to read because they dragged so much in some places
you might have already read some of these, but a few ones i've really enjoyed are:
pride and prejudice - so funny 🙂
dracula - super cool narrative structure, it's kind of like a collection of diary entries, transcripts, and newspaper clippings -plus vampires!
frankenstein - different from the movie adaptations but still awesome, it's kind of like a story within a story within a story etc. at times, but it gets back to things eventually i swear!
i'm pretty sure all 3 books are available as free (and legal!) pdfs on the Project Gutenberg website if you're interested in checking them out 😄
@ecla34 Thank you for the recommendations. I actually bought pride and prejudice a few months back, but I didn't get past about ten pages because I thought it was kind of boring. However, I am determined to read it at some point, so I'll have to start soon.
