MY LIFE THROUGH BOOKS
|
MY LIFE THROUGH BOOKS  I’ve always been a keen reader of books, magazines, newspapers and comics. When I was a , I loved reading Anthony Buckeridge’s books on Jennings, a boarding school boy whose time at school was nothing like my time at boarding school. Jennings was never once bothered by predatory teachers! In my late teens I read many novels. In particular, I read a lot of existential novels, such as Jean-Paul Sartre’s Nausea, about the meaning or rather the lack of meaning in life. I realised after reading these books that there was no meaning other than what we sense ourselves. At this stage in my life I stopped trying to find the point to life and just to get on with life by enjoying things at best or surviving things at worst. A book I like giving to people, whether or adults, is Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull. can read the book as about a seagull wanting to fly faster and higher; and grown-ups can read it as about chasing their dreams. George Orwell was one of my favourite authors. I loved his fiction, such as Keep the Aspidistra Flying and Animal Farm, as well as his non-fiction, especially Homage to Catalonia about the Spanish Civil War. As a student, I read a lot of books on politics, sociology, economics, history, philosophy and psychology. This reading never stopped until I took retirement from my job as a university lecturer. For about 40 years, I just read about politics. My two favourite academic books are Michael Oakeshott’s Rationalism in Politics and Other Essays and John Gray’s Straw Dogs; both books argue that human understanding of the world is very limited and often flawed. After retirement, I thought I’d get back to reading novels. But that hasn’t happened. I’m still reading books about politics, plus a few books on the Tour de France. One of the most recent books I very much enjoyed reading was Bob Woodward’s Fear about Donald Trump. Do you enjoy reading books? If so, what sort of books do you like reading? And what’s the best book you’ve read? Inside is my favourite quote of all time. It’s written by Michael Oakeshott, a conservative philosopher. Though no conservative, I always read out this quote to my students to warn them that they’ll get no answers about political life in my class!         |

Michael Oakeshott wrote: "In political activity ... men sail a boundless and bottomless sea; there is neither harbour for shelter nor floor for anchorage, neither starting-place nor appointed destination. The enterprise is to keep afloat on an even keel; the sea is both friend and enemy, and the seamanship consists in using the resources of a traditional manner of behaviour in order to make a friend of every hostile occasion.”

I used to read a lot while I was in school, now not so much I am more into games that keeps my mind fresh. But in school the best book I ever read was the Witches Of Salem Village. I do enjoy a good mystery book. I hear that book Fear is a great read. I hope you both enjoy a sexy fun filled Hump Day..  Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

I remember reading Jonathon Livingston Seagull in English class and loved it. I fell in love with reading in Grade 1 with a book called Mr. Whiskers, along with Fun With Dick and Jane.. My love from there grew and instead of playing outside with my friends at the time, my nose was always in a book.. It lead my love of reading anything I could get my hands on, into becoming a writer of sorts and publishing my two books of poetry.. I read a lot of James Patterson, Jeffrey Deever and Harlan Coben now because they make m e think with so many different plot twists and capture my imagination.. I read Shakespeare, Keats, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Burns, Margaret Atwood among others.. I read one more who I was related to. A well known author from the U.K. who hails from Scotland and was well renowned in the literary world.. His name is Philip Kerr ( P.B. Kerr) I know what the B stands for..lol. He was my ex husbands first cousin, His Adult books include : March Violets ( 1989) The Pale Criminal ( 1990) A German Requiem ( 1991) The One from the Other ( 2006) A Quiet Flame ( 200  If the Dead Rise Not ( 2009) Field Grey ( 2010) Prague Fatale ( 2011) A Man Without Breath ( 2013) The Lady from Zagreb ( 2015) He ended up writing a series of books for children also, which started with The Children Of The Lamp.. He sent all three of my children the series before he died in 2018, as my ex husband and I kept in contact with Philip and his family over the years.. Sorry my friend, but this post is one that was and is very near and dear to this avid readers, book worm heart..xoxo

Do you enjoy reading books? - I do, but suffer from a poor attention span most times. If so, what sort of books do you like reading? - When I'm FORCED to be confined (like long airplane trips) I choose long novels like Michener or Clancy. And what’s the best book you’ve read? - When I was about 12 I found this hard core illustrated sex novel that must have fallen out of the neighbor's trash. It was about a guy that auditioned women to be hookers and how that process went. I did READ it, and both the text and the photos provided endless wanking material. Happy HNW.

I used to be a CRAZY book reader, but my career in IT and my positions in management, lead me towards a 'less is more' attitude. No one in IT or any CEO I knew wanted to read a novelette. They always wanted the bottom line. *UGH* So, I dove to the bottom line — on any reading material I sought and any I presented. Patience is something I lack hence — magazine articles, reviews, summaries, synopsis —down and dirty is how I manage my time reading. I should get back to reading more than two thousand words. Is there hope for me? 🤔 I take small gulps of info, and then I'm full. I loved 'Winnie Who Poohed.' 😶 I've just spent a lotta words telling you nothing... lol 😂 ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

I remember reading Animal Farm when I was 10 or 11... Boy was I surprised to find out it wasn't just a story about talking animals on a farm!  I speed read naturally so I go through a ton of books. Detective stories and Noir are my favorite genres but the Lewis Carroll "Alice" books are my favorite stories.

Do you enjoy reading books? Very much. I suffered from "tsundoku" until the pandemic lockdown helped to curb it. If so, what sort of books do you like reading? I prefer novels and try to read as much translated fiction from non-Euro/Anglo cultures as possible. And what’s the best book you’ve read? Regarding the Pain of Others by Susan Sontag

I do enjoy reading The Light is shinning and she is lonely and waiting in the darkness.

Harlen Coben is currently my favourite author. I tend to read more magazines than actual novels these days.

I have always enjoyed reading. I never have a dull time since there is always something to read. If it is time of "simple pleasure" I read examples of families moving to the country side for self sufficient living . I currently have no "best book" , I just read for simple pleasures. I had too many years of serious reading, now it is simple pleasure for me

I love to read. Lately its restricted by time constraints. I've been reading a lot of murder mysteries lately. Odd as I usually like happy endings.

I too thought Catcher in the Rye was an over-rated book. And I too have never read a Charles Dickens novel!

1. Yes. 2. Trashy sci fi novels, mainly because the books I need to read for work can be heavy going. 3. Anything by Iain Banks.
