Anne of Green Gables. 10/10
Just reread it today.
My favorite book! It's charming, funny, heartwarming, fascinating and bittersweet. It's a great look into the 19th century, and even though it's technically a children's book, it still holds up for adults.

I know what you mean! I've been trying to read more lately.
I have the time, but I never know what to read. Maybe I'll just start rereading the books that I have.

 

The DaVinci Code 7/10
I just finished reading this for the first time. While the plot was quite fascinating, fast-paced and gripping, coupled with interesting lore, I was disappointed with several cultural and historical mistakes I found in the book, and I know that experts in various fields have found even more mistakes. I believe the reason the book warranted such heavy criticism is because of the fact that Dan Brown claimed time and again that every part of the background story is true - when it's not, apparently.
I assume I will try out more of the Robert Langdon books, but I have a feeling that the core idea of all of the books is the same: Mr. Brown thinks that with one book he can overturn the beliefs of every major religion, which I don't think is true, certainly if his research isn't quite so thought out.

 

Have you read it?

 

ghost stories: civil war of the past. I live a very cheap lifestyle. I use social media as the tv modern day. my mom watches tv when she folds clothes and that kinda stuff but I use my laptop for tv.

 

Well, I thought it was good, plot-wise. Background-wise, not really.

 

I was literally about to make a thread like this one! I was a guy who PMOed late into the night and early in the morning for years. I am no longer spending time on my phone/laptop in bed. I have been going back to the good old days where I am reading until my eyelids are heavy. I really missed out on so many good books because of my addiction, and that makes me sad. The good news is, it is never too late! I feel like I am being reborn again when I open a good book. I love it! Let us all share some book recommendations!

The True Story of Fake News by Mark Dice - 10/10
He gives some really great in-depth analysis about how the mainstream media can manipulate millions. He doesn't just touch on recent years, but goes back decades. Very well researched and written!

 

awesome, success

 

[ " Every Man's Battle " By: Stephen Arterburn ]

A must read for all people addicted to lust,porn,sexual fantasies,etc . . .

10/10

 

Yesterday I finished Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. 7/10.
The plot felt a bit bland, a kind of 'been there, done that' feeling, but I'm giving it a high rating because of the ending. When the Freemasons' real secret was revealed, I was happy to see that it seemed to really reflect the organization's core idea that everyone is welcome, regardless of faith.

 

The book I really liked this semester was John Stott's Between Two Worlds. My most recent though: commentaries, tons of commentaries. I even read one on Romans by John Stott, which was great. Stott can really phrase his thoughts well!

 

The Revolutionary Phenotype, by Jean-Francois Gariepy. It is a phenomenonal addition to the field of evolutionary biology, detailing how life began, and even how it very well might end. It's a technical tour-de-force, yet it reads like a great fiction novel. Short, sweet and very informative. I would recommend it to anyone, whether we're versed in biology or not.

 

All Other Nights by Dara Horn - 9/10
A great plot, excellent writing, arguments on slave rights, 1860s politics, religion, patriotism, war, soldiers, and spies. Everything you could ask for in a Jewish - Civil War novel. I took off one point because it was open-ended. I mean, the ending is good, but there were a number of plot points that were left unresolved.
