BOOKS I ENJOYED IN MY LIFE- I like to read... here is a sampling
The Divine Comedy (Italian: Commedia, later christened "Divina" by Giovanni Boccaccio), written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321, is widely considered the central epic poem of Italian literature, the last great work of literature of the Middle Ages and the first great work of the Renaissance, and one of the greatest works of world literature. Before you think I'm all that, I took a whole semester class on this book, still don't understand it, but it will fry your mind. Not for casual reading. You NEED a class on it to see it's beauty. Wow!
Who Moved My Cheese? From Amazon.com
Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message
of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if
they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives.
Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings
live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental,
they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and
Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different
relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their
self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've
found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to
our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although
it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story
is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go
running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.
The Present
Anything by Dale Carnegie
Tuesdays with Morrie
I like my Sports Illustrated. I look for it every week.
I like the Wall Street Journal. I don't currently get it, but I should
I like the Holy Bible. Should read that more... I know this against my Catholic doctrine, but I don't know how you can take it literal word for word. Here's my view, at the Life of Jesus he associated with people that were on the cultural fringe, tax collectors, Mary Magdelene, lepers. It drove the people crazy. So, if Jesus walked the earth today, how would he hang out with? My bet is he would not be afraid to hang out with the homosexuals. It just makes sense I think. The Bible contradicts that vehemontly. And wives not being equal. The Bible also is against that. But don't we have to interpret that with the "times" We are talking thousands of years ago, written, yes by divine hands, but still human hands. Never talk politics, religion, or Packers vs Bears, but hey it's my blog right?
The Koran is an interesting read also. I have read bits, pieces, and good samples of it. A lot of it is like a mirror image of The Bible.
The Left Behind Series I was really into, and then I read a ton of it on 9/11, that exact day I read like 3/4 of a book. Yeah, that 9/11, and too many things, WAY TOO MANY THINGS, were eerily similar. Haven't read a page since.
Phil Jackson's book is good.
The Canterbury Tales are hilarious, if you understand them, which thru a class I kind of got.
Shakespeare is the master, of course.
Most of Hemingway's stuff is good.
All Quiet of the Western Front, yeah I don't like war much, especially after that.
The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band (Hardcover) It's about Motley Crue. It is Rock N Roll baby. Rock and Roll.
1/2 of Rudy Guliano's book. The first 1/2, then he got political.
Mostly, I like autobiography books and self help, cheesy business books if you want to buy me a book which I know you do, although I would prefer a recommendation and get it from the local library. Our local library has like zero books. They might not have one book on this list. Someday I'm going to get more involved in our library and then WATCH OUT. I'm gonna take away all the b.s. and get them some books!!!!!
