Hi, I am a bit confused here, I believe the River Between was by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o, kindly crosscheck.

Built to Last by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras. A solid 4 out of 4 stars. I hope to have this book in my reading list every year or other year. It is a must re-read.

Chosen (The Lost Books #1) by Ted Dekker

4 out of 4 stars.

Spoiler alert!


I found the book too short (or too fast a read) and the ending too abrupt.

I am often left less than satisfied with collections of short stories - it seems they are harder to write successfully than a full novel. But Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor is one of those rare and delightful exceptions.

Writing of the American south, which she knew and understood so well, and occasionally reminiscent of Harper Lee in style and and atmosphere, this is a collection of eight stories about ordinary folk, both urban and rural, who inhabit the time and place.

O'Connor has that rare gift of being able to discern and describe people's prejudices, not just the outwardly obvious ugliness of racial religious intolerance, but also those hidden, internal and often unacknowledged intolerances that many actually consider to be their own particular virtues.

O'Connor's stories are all moral tales, but the tone is mostly genteel, unhurried, and ironic, often humorous, never preachy, and she leaves it up to the reader to decide the right and the wrong of the situations she describes.

Despite her easy, readable and mostly languid style of writing, several of the stories in this collection have abrupt, violent and tragic ends, the justice of which is open to each reader's interpretation. The characters are beautifully drawn and identifiable, without being cliched, despite the limitations imposed by the short story form.

4 stars out of 5.

Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine. I gave it a 5 out of 5 stars. Great thriller!

I just finished Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman and gave it 4/5 stars. It was really good! A little slow, but it was a good slow that makes one reflect on their own morals and ideologies

The last book I read was Picture Perfect: The Jodi Arias Story by Shanna Hogan. I gave it 4/4 stars, it was one of the best books I have read in a while! After I finished, I immediately purchased three more books from the same publisher!

So the last book that I read was The subtle art of not giving a f*ck by mark Manson .This is undoubtedly the best and a very practical self help book I came across.I would give this book a 4/5.
It's a practical book can rather a counterintuitive book
