Book: Show us a book you've read more than once.
This is tough. I only buy/keep a book if I'll read it more than once. I own tons of books, thus there's too many to show.
Some of my faves:
I am loving this book. Maybe I shouldn't - I am, after all, married to an engineer in the defense industry - but I really am just digging it.
The author is a former journalist who was invited to teach a writing class. He replied, "I'd rather teach peace" and developed a class from there. The book is his account of teaching it to a wide range of students - from top-tier law students to jailed juveniles.
Highly recommended and I'm only a couple of chapters in. (My new rule is to only read 1 chapter a night- I'm getting far too exhausted from delving into a book I love then realizing it's 1 AM and the book is over.)
Where do you get recommendations for new books to read?
- Magazine & newspaper reviews
- Amazon suggestions
- My dahlin' friends
- Myspace authors (the best thing Myspace is for!)
- Trashionista!
I read this book during my trip to Seattle and just loved it. It was great to see a piece about it in USA Today and to learn a bit more about the author than I knew just from the book.
Highly recommended reading...
