I like reading motivational books with inspiring quotes, also books from my tutor, mentor and pastor |

It's good to know that some Nigerians still read. I thought a thread on books will have very few replies. I was really surprised and impressed. As for me, I love reading success-motivating books and spiritual books. I love positive philosophy and psychology-inclined books. I love books by Zig Ziglar, David Oyedepo, Tim Lahale, Napoleon Hill, etc. On the laws of life, I highly recommend that you read The Secret[i][/i]. If you are not superstitious, you will enjoy it. Keep up the good work folks. Together, we will rule naija. |

Meeeeeeeeen! I've read tons in this my little life and it seems as if i've not even started. From reading almost all the James Hardley Chase titles in secondary school, i graduated to non-fiction; Spirituals, Motivationals, Positive Psychology, Autobiography/Biographies. I've read mostly from these authors Hardley Chase Napoleon Hill David Schwartz Dale Carnegie John Maxwell Jim Ron Robert Kiyosaki Jack Welch Donald Trump Norman V Pearle Two titles from these authors; Power of Psitive thinking(pearle) and 7 strategies for wealth and happiness(Ron) made massive impact in my life, infact my life got a real quantum leap after applying those principles they espouse. Thats off course after the master of all books, THE BIBLE! |

Re: What Kind Of Books Do You Read? by Parnassuss(m): 5:51pm On Jul 06, 2010 |
I just read a book "The Prayer of The Frog 2" by Anthony DeMello, a catholic mystic. There is a short story in the book that tells of the hazard of reading blindly. A woman couldn't fix setup an electric fan after using the manual, she decided to take break. Upon her return, her illiterate maid had fixed it perfectly. "how did you do it she asked?" "well" the maid replied, "since i have not learned to read i am forced to use my brain." this is not a moral on just blind reading but generally on shortsighted education. Peace |

WHEN I'M NOT READING FOR EXAMS, I PREFER TO READ BOOKS THAT WILL ENTERTAIN ME. TO BE ENTERTAINED, I NEED TO BE RELAXED. THAT MEANS I ONLY READ BOOKS THAT REQUIRE A MINIMUM LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION TO UNDERSTAND. IF U ARE CONCENTRATING TOO MUCH ON SOMETNING, U ARE DEFINITELY NOT RELAXED. THAT EFFECTIVELY PUT MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS AND NONFICTION BOOKS OUT OF THE COMPETITION. GIVE ME CRIME, SCIENCE FICTION, MYSTERIES ETC ANY DAY. BUT I MUST ADMIT THAT 4 MY OWN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, I'M SERIOUSLY TRYING TO FORM THE HABIT OF READING MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS. |
Re: What Kind Of Books Do You Read? by Nobody: 12:32am On Jul 07, 2010 |
