What Book Are You Reading Now? by ladionline: 8:41am On Dec 26, 2013 |
Good morning, Ladies and Gents. And my fellow nlanders. I am into books because I love reading and I want to see some word up north. And as well help others with theirs. That aside, book is our best silent companion. |

This should be in the education section. It has nothing to do with culture. |

I know very well that we all have good genius points that may not make it to press for whatever reason. But that should not make us say 'no' to books. Of course some pastimes are more convenient, but book is a writers attempt to unravel an open secret, the title. Book title to me, is like someone is attempting a question and needs me to verify something. Then I trick myself to buy and see. At least I know my average. I may have read up to 6 books round the year, A2Z. I get time... while shuttling here and there. I hope you must have done something better or similar, though. But...What book are you reading now? |

I am talking of books that help us find beauty in chaos, not particularly academics or curricular books. These are like 'borrowed sight' we need to see the world with. It will definitely help in adapting us to our environment, the world. |

Just as the saying goes, 'we live in a global village' at the turn of the century, thought from diverse clime is fast changing the way we run our affairs now, for instance, as the web unite us, it adds to our information database in a way. So its like its over with the old way of socialising and learning the classroom way. |

This is what books are capable of: 'In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.' ALBERT SCHWEITZER. |

Yemlizzy:Back in those day, mum brough home ijapa, that she found at site. It automatically became mine. A plaything is born and all the supertition was life again. 'Please, do not put your hand to the hollow!' my older peer said 'That's what i want to do!' 'Ah, it would never release your finger!' Are you serious, ever? 'No, except if it thunder'. When will it thunder? When it rain. I was not happy. But I let go. Meanwhile when we want to go to bed I cover the unfortunate creature with heavy mortal so it would not trick us and go. Sadly, she died before dawn. My silly friends saw my countenance and felt sorry. Yet one boy said it was another tortoise trick, and that if we throw the tortoise out, it would run for dear life! That's a ray of hope. We are close by and an elder came lashing at us. However, I think the saying 'avoid the hollow' is talking of... |

I mean, avoid the hollow of something is an instruction on Chastity in a cryptic way. All they want to say is 'don't go get curious about the channel of creation from this!' In fact, it is sex education without the censored word. We are a bunch of failure if we can not read our culture like book. Peace. |

By the way, novel information dissemination as being witness with the internet is akin to what happened in the city of mainz when the movable type was invented in the AD. 1400s. Bible was the first book to published by Gutemberg the inventor. Since this time book replace scrolls as medium for records. By any means, surfing the internet will not replace reading a traditional book any sooner.(?) |

Just as I've been saying, somewhere somehow, 'book' in form of 'answer' exist for every 'question' that forms on our mind. Some of us may not have realize this. Yet we may suffer around a need that has already been met, which is around us, but which we technically ignore over 'legimate' excuses. Maybe we set ourselves up often. Answers already exist before we form our questions. |
