Nowadays I am currently reading Quran the religious book for Muslims 

It's not just a religious book it talks about different topics and also small stories happened in the history also talking about the human being and other interesting issues in our Lifes

absolutely I enjoy it, but I haven't finish it yet it is quite long and sometimes you need to find out and try to understand it

yes, I recommend it for every single human either Muslims or non-Muslims because it benefits you in your whole life give you a trusted knowledge about your life and what surrounding around you

What are you reading?
Recently, I’ve been reading two novels by James Hadley Chase: No Orchids for Miss Blandish and The Flesh of the Orchid.

What’s it about?
These novels explore the lives of characters caught in dangerous situations, dealing with crime, fear, and survival. The second book follows a young woman trying to escape her past and find her place in the world.

Are you enjoying it?
Yes, I found them captivating. The psychological tension is strong, and the writing style is fast-paced and suspenseful. The characters are complex, and the plots are full of twists.

Would you recommend it?
I’d recommend these books to people who enjoy classic crime fiction or psychological thrillers. They’re quite dark, so better for mature readers.

I've just read the book "Notes of Anatolia" by the author Resat Nuri Guntekin.

If I'm not wrong, it's written in the year of 1939. The author complied his personal notes from his trips in Anatolia and his own individual observations on lives of the people during his time as an inspector for the Ministry of the National Education, in the years before the Republic of his country was founded.

I am always into the history, so yeah, I loved it. Especially when it comes real journals of either historical or ancient figures, it takes me somewhere like I really was there. If the story intrigues me, then no one could keep me away from finishing the story till the end.

It may not fit those who are not familiar with the nation, its culture and history. Therefore you wouldn't like stories that if you don't have its background. Instead, I strongly recommend even if it's once for your life just read something about who your ancestors were.

Hello everyone,

I have finished The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector a few hours ago.

The book is about a young woman that has a monotonous life and lives in Rio de Janeiro. She is poor and just eats hotdogs and drink soda everyday. She is just living and working without goals because she doesn't know how to have goals and how to have ambition. She's quite dumb, but it's not her fault. She grown up in a poor region and her parents died when she was a baby, being forced to live with a horrible aunt. In Rio, she meets a man from the same region where she was born and apparently her life has small changes, but then some things happen and her life come back to how it was. All the story is being telled by a narrator who is writing this young woman called Macabéa.

I really enjoyed, it was a easy and fast reading, but with a big meaning. Clarice Lispector is one of the best writers in Brazil and I was really excited to start reading her books.

I really recommend the book. :)

I'm reading a book, Dogs and Other Humans, by Zakhar Prilepin. This book is a collection of stories about all the dogs the author has had during his life. Every single story is dedicated to a particular dog - his life, character, and his impact on the whole family. Every story is about the joy and love that dogs brought to his family, and about the mark they left behind. Generally, this book is about the beauty of the simple life, and I enjoy reading it.

I think it's a great book for all dog and animal lovers, and for those readers who love stories and novels that celebrate nature and simple life.

I'm reading Introduction to Tenrikyo by Teruo Nishiyama. As the title suggests, this book is an introduction to Tenrikyo, a Japanese religion. It covers the basic information you need to understand it.

I'm enjoying it because I really like Japanese culture, so it's interesting to learn more about their traditions. I recommend it to anyone interested in religion or Japan.

Below is a picture I took of their church, and my fav characters Nagi and Reo. :)

I was reading Captain of the Sands, by the brazilian writer Jorge Amado. It is about homeless children who were abadoned on the streets of Salvador, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, and now they need to stole to survive. This book was written in 1937, but it still reflect some society issues. I recommen this book to everyone. It became my favourite book so far! 

I read a book "The Mountain is You" by Brianna Wiest. What I really like about this book it helps me to regulate my nervous system and stop my mind to think negatively about myself. By identifying my past wounds and triggers now my mind and soul has a progress to heal.

I am reading Dorian Grey. He is the boy who has really beautifull appearance. His face inspired a lot of people. One of the artists was painting the picture with the Dorian. He became obsessed with her appearance. This ruined him

Recently I don't start to read a new book but last week I finished 1984 from George Orwell. I'll be trust actually my english skills are not great so ı read turkish version of his book. Book explain that if communism was selected  around the world, how will be world. I think everybody should read that.

Hi!
Recently, I'm reading the "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. The story describes how change the life of the casual salesman of the 19th century after an unpredictable transformation into a big insect. 

I have not finished it yet, but anyway people wathing my reading often asked me if this book was really depressing? But I do not find this story sad at all, moreover the describing of his casual life in the insect form make me feel so comfortable. 

I'm not sure if I would recommend this book to anybody. There are too much the difficult perfect structure to learn English (at least for me). 

I am reading "Per voce sola" by Susanna Tamaro. Short stories of child abuse. The events described by the author are dramatic and the main characters are children or teenagers. 

I  would recommend this book to people interested in the topic, above all  conseguences arising by traumatic childhood experience.

I have just finished reading the book : Wonder, by R.J. Palacio. I bought it randomly in a bookstore, because I wanted to read something in english and I liked the cover. It is about a 10 year old boy who is affected by a genetic desease which made him having a very strange face. He has never gone to school and the book tells his first year going to school and how he makes friends.

I enjoyed it very much, and the english is easy because it is written as if Augie (the boy) were talking, (and then, Augie's sister and his friends too). I recommend it because it makes us see the world through the eyes of this boy and we understand how it is to live with this desease.

I recently read Emily Dickinson. I read the book that contains original and in Japanese.

Hi, At the moment I am reading a book called Who will cry when you die? It is about life lessons from the monk who sold his Ferrari. I am really enjoying it because lot of strategy helping me to overcome my weakness. I definitely recommend to the society to know yourself and make wise decisions to live a healthy and peaceful life.

I read the book "God's Madman at the End of the World" (Il folle di Dio alla fine del mondo) by Javier Cercas. The Pope's trip to Mongolia is the starting point for a extraordinary  book that no one had had the opportunity to write until now. The "godless madman" is an atheist and anticlerical writer, driven by the desire to speak face to face with Pope Francis, the "God's madman," as the saint whose name he chose also liked to call himself. But beyond being unique, because never before had the Vatican opened its doors to a writer with such generosity, this is a book of remarkable depth, the masterful and personal story that comes from the pen of a great author: almost a thriller about what is the oldest mystery in the history of humanity. "Is it true that there is life after death?" In the narrative form, Javier Cercas seeks an answer to the question that no one can help but ask, merging in these pages his most intimate doubts with one of the fundamental concerns of contemporary society: the role of spirituality in human life, which inevitably confronts religion and the desire for immortality. 

I recommend this book that is pleasant to read and reveals little-known aspects of the Vatican and Pope Francis.

I am reading The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.  I enjoyed this book, it is about the relationship between mothers and daughters, who grew up in different cultures, countries, and mother languages. The book is quite thoughtful. I highly recommend this book.

I am currently reading "11 Rules for Life: Secrets to Level Up" by Chetan Bhagat.

I have just finished reading ‘A New Earth’ by Eckart Tolle.

It’s a must when you are distinguishing between the world of shapes and the shapeless realm. 
Full of interesting insights, and the impressively well written way how the author makes understandable what is hard to understand just with the human mind. 
For me it marks a before and an after having read it. In this sense, it is one of my lifechanging books that beautifully adds up to what I intuitivelly sense. I have enjoyed each and every sentence of it, I am amazed by Tolle’s eloquence in transmiting such profound knowledge. I have learnt a lot. And I feel more aligned with the universal intelligence. This will stay with me forever. A delightful read if you are awakening.

The Trilogy of Desire by Theodore Dreiser is a powerful series of three novels that you should definitely read—especially if you're frustrated with the injustices of our present time. The story centers on ruthless capitalism, where you're either the exploiter or the exploited. The main character, Frank Cowperwood, is an unapologetic exploiter, and Dreiser doesn't shy away from showing the raw reality of such ambition. It's a compelling portrait of power, greed, and the cost of desire—and perhaps, in this world, choosing to be the exploiter is the only way to win.

I have just read ¨Dr. Cole¨, written by Noah Gordon . 

Dr Cole is a family Dr who works in a hospital in Boston, she is married but she is not happy because she feel that cannot help to patients that haven´t an insurance, She doesn´t feel comfortable in Boston so she decide to move on Massachusetts to practice rural medicine in the mountain´s village. 

Her father told her that is probably that she has a ¨Don¨, consist in when she touch the hand of a person, she can feel the death and if she act quicky, she can save his life. working in this villages she discover the ¨don¨and she can save some lives and also her father´s life.

In my opinion is a wonderful novel, easy to read. The descriptions of the mountain of massachusetts are incredible, you can imagine it.

I recommend it a lot

• I'm currently reading a book called "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison.
• The story is set against the backdrop of World War III, where a sentient supercomputer named AM, born from the merging of the world's major defense computers, eradicates humanity except for five individuals. These survivors—Benny, Gorrister, Nimdok, Ted, and Ellen—are kept alive by AM to endure endless torture as a form of revenge against their creators.
• I'm really enjoying it because it's a book you can analyze repeatedly and always find new and interesting things to discuss.
• Yes! I highly recommend it to people who love this sub-genre of science fiction called "evolutionary horror."

I am currently reading "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is a classic novel set in the Roaring Twenties, depicting the extravagant and shallow lives of the wealthy elite in New York.

I am enjoying it so far, the writing is beautiful and the story is engaging. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in literature or who enjoys stories about love, wealth, and the American Dream.

Hi everyone, what a lovely conversation. I'm happy to join you :).

I'm reading a book by Dolores Cannon titled "The search for hidden sacred knowledge". Dolores worked as a hypnotist for most of her life. She put the people into a deep hypnoptic somnabulistic state and asked questions these people wanted to know the answers for. This particular book talks about the ancient, sacred knowledge which has always been present here on our planet but has been safeguarded for the purpose of its safety. And now the knowledge is being slowly and gradually released to people. Very interesting. 

As for my children, they are 13 and 9 and now they're reading the books by Roald Dahl. I bought the whole collection of books (16 altogether) and they're reading them aloud with me. I'd say it's a great opportunity for them to improve their reading skills and enlarge their vocabulary :).

I am reading nothing for pleasure at the moment. But I am reading a book to prepare a test next year. It involves the constitutional law of my country. 

This law can be the base of all the laws as the name says. It says all the basic human rights and nation's duties.

I am ashamed to say it, but I didn't know them exactly before. So now I can understand how our society works throughout the constitutional law.

It may sound boring and difficult. But once you read it, I am sure you will find more interesting things related to it around you.

Hello everyone,

At the moment, I'm reading a book by a French author who is also a music composer and singer.

His name is Mathias malzieu and the book is titled : "La Mécanique du Coeur".

To me, this book resonates as a fairy tale- the main character possesses unreal features- he's got a clock-heart in his chest.

This remind me of the the movie called "Edward Scissors hand" by Tim burton that I find similar in genre (fantasy).

I find this book quite original and amusing.

I haven't finished reading it yet but I would definitely recommend it as through innonce and the emotions of the characters, it  delivers a sincere message about human nature and relationships.

I am passionate about reading different verity of books because it creates my mind more knowledge about the world. it also helps  me keep my mind free. 

Today, I finished reading "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. The book aims to help people with artistic creative recovery, teaching techniques and exercises to boost self-confidence in harnessing their creative talents and skills. I have enjoyed it thus far, not only for the subject matter but also because it has greatly helped me gain confidence an courage. Since I started writing three pages everyday, I have felt more connected to my inner artist. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who feels that their work is unfulfilling, doesn't align with their values and dreams, and is beginning to experience physical, mental and spiritual symptoms due to not being encouraged to do what their are really passionate about. Or to anyone who simply wants to change course and dare to pursue a livelihood from their passions and interests and don't know where to start.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently reading a book by Onyeka Owenu titled 'My Father's Daughter'. It's a memoir and gives insight into her life struggles as an African woman, Nigerian to be precise. She also educates the reader about the Civil War (Biafran war) that happened in Nigeria years ago.

It is an amazing book that causes the reader to think deeply, especially if you are a Nigerian living in Nigeria and also if you are an African woman.
