#fortheloveofbooks I started reading Oprah winfrey's book titled "what i know for sure".Its filled with insightful wisdom alongside tit bits of her autobiography.She wrote;
"When was the last time you laughed till your sides hurt? Or smiled so hard your eyes crinkled?More to the point, if your life ended tomorrow, what would you regret not doing? If this were the last day of your life, would you spend it the way you’re spending today?The gift of deciding to face your mortality without turning away or flinching is the gift of recognizing that because you will die, you must live now. Whether you flounder or flourish is always in your hands—you are the single biggest influence in your life.Your journey begins with a choice to get up, step out, and live fully.
You have the choice this very moment—the only moment you have for certain. I hope you aren’t so wrapped up in nonessential stuff that you forget to really enjoy yourself—because this moment is about to be over. I hope you’ll look back and remember today as the day you decided to make every moment count, to relish each hour as if there would never be another. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance."


On her love for reading;

"Give me a great novel or memoir, some tea, and a cozy spot to curl up in, and I’m in heaven! I love to live in another person’s thoughts; I marvel at the bonds I feel with people who come alive on the page, regardless of how different their circumstances might be from mine. I not only feel I know these people, but I also recognize more of myself. Insight, information, knowledge, inspiration, power: All that and more can come through a good book."

I am literally in book heaven,savoring each page like i never want this book to get to the end.

Wow, I'm overwhelmed. I think everyone need to read that book, myself inclusive. I've always Oprah as one who loves books.

Obinoscopy has gone AWOL....would have been a good review partner.

Obinoscopy, how about a Whatsapp group for the book club, for a more robust experience and to facilitate rapid and better communication among members?

Good idea, but I think this forum is also a good communication channel if we utilise it efficiently. Also we stand a risk of flouting Rule 22 if we are to implement your suggestion. But if you know how to go about it without flouting the forum rules then you can give it a try.
