    I purchased these books yesterday:

    The Power Of Now - By Eckhart Tolle
    Catcher In The Rye - By JD Salinger

    Anyone read these books? Thoughts?
    I have 60 days to read them and return if I don't like them.
    I am always skeptical and not filled with hope with self help books, I hope Power Of Now makes me happier.

    Catcher in the rye is one of my favorites..but i think is better to read that, when you are young..ofcourse i don't know your age..
    i'm on this..excellent..

    Catcher In The Rye - By JD Salinger

    Think every American of the 30-50 age bracket has read this at some point, as it is a book they used to teach in high school....have no idea if they still use it. Really a great book and I am sure it would mean something different as a 41 yr old then it did as a 14 year old.

    As an adult, I prefer Salinger's stories about the Glass family, but as a teenager, I felt a kindred spirit in Holden Caulfield. And what's left of 15-year-old dankind (more than you'd think) still gets goosebumps and throat lumps when reading certain sections of Catcher in the Rye.

    Thank you.
    I am reading The Power of Now in the mornings and Catcher in the Rye in the evenings.
    I don't know if that's a wise idea haha.

    Because it took me so flipping long to read it - but it's a great book. I did a book blog post on it, too, if anyone would like more info. http://mybookclubforone.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-dot-ham.html

    How do you blokes feel about audio books? I've read (or I guess I should say listened) to my last couple books this way and really like it. I feel like I get through them faster and really like listening to them on the ride to and from work. Great way to pass that time.

    But part of me feels like it's cheating my way through the book. Lol.

    Thoughts?

    This for me, pretty much. Like to hold the book and read it myself. My mind tends to wander if I listed to someone else read.

    Somebody told me there was a study about real books versus ebooks and people tend to skim more when they're reading a book on Kindle, for example. I don't know if that's true or not.

    My eyes need an occasional break from the electronics so I dodge ebooks as well. Good old fashioned paper!

    Your Heart Is A Muscle The Size Of A Fist, by Sunil Yapa. It centers around the Seattle WTO protests, as seen through the eyes of seven different people. So far, so good.

    Interesting! I'll definitely be checking this one out. I remember having to push through protesters and cops to try to get to my office. What a gigantic clusterfuck it was. But it sounds like a great setting for this book.

    How long does it take you guys and girls to read a book?
    I am such a slow reader, 20 pages in 1 hour.

    Not quite sure about this one. It's sort of a fantasy that he worked on for ten years.
    Loved his books: Remains of the day and Never Let Me Go
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.
