- Latest Review: "Desolate" by Stephanie Binding
To go along with this one you should read Jack Canfields The Success Principles. It's like a map of how to get from where you are to where you want to be.benji wrote:The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People By Stephen Covey. It puts into words every innate sense I've ever had about life and not understood in an understandable, helpful way.

If you want to be inspired and become a more optimistic person: Life without Limits from Nick Vujicic. Almost like a biography but not focused on what he did in his life but more how you could make the most of your own.

- Latest Review: "XIANNE" by Jayce Grayson
Herodotus, The Histories. An account of the awesome invasion of Greece by the Persian Empire and how the vastly outnumbered Greeks fought them off. Along the way, lots of fascinating side stories. A great read.
Bacon's Essays. Full of wisdom, well-written gems on a variety of topics.
Shelby Foote, The Civil War. A massive three volume account of the War Between the States. Excellent writing that really brings out the heroism on both sides and does full justice to the tragic drama.

Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer.
Very interesting and easy to read. The book is about his quest on becoming a memory champion and how memory works. You meet some of these mental athletes who can memorize dozens of decks of playing cards and recite them from memory. You learn about memory palaces and how to use them.
I would recommend this book and How to develop a perfect memory by D. O'Brien. Both offers practical advices that anybody can use

Wonderful Tonight by Pattie Boyd is amazing. She was married to both George Harrison from The Beatles and eric Clapton and this is her autobiography.

I am amazed at how excited my kids are to learn the plots of the plays. They literally beg me to be the first to recite their lines. The book is designed to engage you excite you and then teach you how to do the same for your kids.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to introduce Shakespeare to children in a non-threatening, fun way. My kids will be Shakespeare fans for like. This could be used at home as a summer project, part of homeschooling curriculum or even used in a classroom setting for kids (and adults) of any age.
