Finally got around to Cat in The Hat

Vast in its depth and scope...a visionary accomplishment

Embodies the insidious Jesterlike ethos which permeates the Zeitgeist

And is an ardent stance against government conspiracies to cover the crown chakra

With elongated hats. Pulitzer Prize worthy disgusted he hasn’t been nom’d yet

Got 2 books down so far lol.

Currently reading the children of men

I read 27 books last year. The best was Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe.

I've been reading a lot this year, currently 8 books already. Might do a breakdown soon. Earth Abides by George R. Stewart has been my favourite so far, really good.

Can we get either the threat title updated to read “2020” or a new one posted, please?

Exis · 02-08-2020, 08:20 AM

Yeah I've been very brain dead lately to even read the images you posted about how reading stimulates your brain theres no doubt about it... i've got 2 books on my table right now I just grabbed them.. one book is called All the Lights we Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr I put a subway food coupon book as the bookmarker on page 137 it looks like... and I remember part of it... haven't tried to read it in like a year for sure

its a fiction book that goes back and forth between a deaf french little girl and a german nazi kid... who was an orphan and joined the nazi kids youth thing because it was his best option... seemed like a good book but like I said.. only on page 137 according to my book mark.

and under that was a book I never even opened up.. called Aware by Daniel J Siegel.. "the science of prescence" "The groundbreaking meditation practice"... that must have been something my mom sent me for Christmas or something that I never opened so I don't know if thats good or not.

A good book to read, it would probably be better for people that have alcohol/drug addiction issues.. or.. any other sort of addiction really. Its called The 4 agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz... its kind of like a self help book but it never mentions drugs/alcohol or any other type of addiction so when you read it, it doesn't feel like you're being preached at or anything, I hate when books do that, but anyway its a good read those are this the last books I remember reading

Witty · 02-12-2020, 10:22 AM

Yeah seems like it helped you.

slecht · 02-12-2020, 07:58 PM

I got 7 so far, I'll update soon

John Dillinger · 02-12-2020, 11:10 PM

All the Presidents Men by Woodward and Bernstein
Less than Zero & American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

Eŋg · 02-13-2020, 12:11 PM

i'm definitely going to read some books this year.

maybe not 52, i think 26 is more reasonable. i might aim for 30.

i'm 3/4 of the way through striking thoughts - bruce lee. much wisdom.

Ghost1 · 02-14-2020, 01:37 PM

word to ouches ramble about all the lights we cannot see....I def didn't read his post but considered reading that book....

I have some updates for this thread soon

I started uploading all my finished books to good reads so stopped updating it on here but I might still generate a list
