Hello Booksworms,

this weekend I finished „Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer. By the way … I read it the third time and I like it very much – it is a very tragic story. It tells a lot about of dreams of everyone of us, but the guy of the story tried to live his dreams and failed because of the reality.

I am reading " Lettera a una Chiesa che ha dimenticato Gesù".
It is a pity that we cannot find this book in English.

E.Olmi writes how religion must be Joy and serenity. Beliving in another life after death has to give us the power to go on and be generous and understanding with neighbor.

I have to recommend DEATH OF A SUPERHERO by Anthony MacCarten. It is not a new book but I have discovered it only now :-)
It’s a very special book although it is very simple (for teenagers?). I am reading it in Italian language but I want to buy it also in English. I think there is a lot to learn about new words and a new way to write.
This book tells the story of a terminally ill boy from adolescent and adult perspectives. Don’t worry it isn’t a sad, bore, weepy book!
Death of a Superhero includes comic dynamism, cinematic scene changes, and passages of calm, emotionally intensive narration.
You will read it in a night

I’ve finished just now to read “Inferno” (Hell) by Dan Brown.
It is a thriller.
Telling the true I have found it a little boring and overfull of information given just to give .

What I can say about this book is that, if you have never visited Venezia and Firenze, after its reading you will start to save money to have a trip there.

I consider myself an avid book reader, specially since my retirement, fourteen years ago. I'm currently reading two books simultaneously: Jack Kerouak's "On The Road" and "The Complete Western Stories" of Elmore Leonard. I've also just finished John LeCarré's "A Delicate Truth" and Arthur Miller's "A From the Bridge." As you can appreciate it is an eclectic list, it covers a wide field of preferences. Anyway, I'd recommend John LeCarré's book to those who like British old fashioned spy stories. I've enjoyed it with great pleasure. Reading it, while sipping an eighteen old scotch whiskey will increase the enjoyment (not for underage folk).
I'd like to post some more complete comments about some of those titles later, once I have assembled my ideas and find the right way to express them in English. For the moment, consider this post as an essay about how to post a post in this highly interesting forum.

Recently I have finished ''The Doll''. I'm from Poland, so this book is a classical example of set text. It is incredibly great book! It was written in 19th century by Boleslaw Prus. Now I am reading ''If I stay''. When I finish, I will write something about it.

Hi! The latest book I read recently was "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov. This book has all: merry mischief and melancholy sadness, romantic love and obsession magical, magical mystery and reckless game with the evil spirit. And now I'm reading "Miserable" by Victor Hugo.

I'm recently finished reading Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. The novel beautifully captures the life and times during the Great Depression. The story is about two ranch workers George and Lennie and the dreams they harbor. Whether or not they manage to make them come true, that's something you'll have to find out by reading the book. The book also emphasizes on the role the society essays when it comes to the lives of common people. Of Mice and Men is both inspiring and heartbreaking.

I also finished reading The Cuckoo’s Calling by J.K. Rowling and totally loved it! The story is about a private investigator who investigates the suicide of a celebrity. This crime thriller surely thrilled me to bits! Love Rowling's style of narration. The pace of the story is just perfect and it doesn't once lose its steam. A great read!

I finished Such Good Girls: The Journey of the Hidden Child Survivors of the Holocaust by R.D. Rosen. The book follows the lives of three different children and how they survived Holocaust. It's one of the best non-fiction books I've read in a while. I picked up Palahniuk's Beautiful You a couple of days back (something tells me I'm going to be disappointed by this one eventually :-( )

I read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry many times.
In my judgement it is the best. The book is full of love and philanthropy.

I love reading books; the last book I had read is called Final of a saga of 5 books that are: Hush Hush (The name of the saga) Crescendo, Silence, Finale and Kiss Me Deadly. The book is of Becca Fitzpatrick.
It’s explained by Nora Grey, a student of secondary in Coldwater, Mine. It goes about the love of Nora and Patch Cipriano; Patch is a Fallen Angel and Nora is a Nephilim, a Fallen Angel is an Angel that for an obscure reason has lost his wings and a Nephilim is the union of a human and a Fallen Angel. Although Nora is now a Nephilim she isn’t a pure one, but when a pure Nephilim has poured his blood in her veins he turned in a pure one. In the book is going to start a war between Fallen Angels and Nephilim because every Jeshvan the Fallen Angels can enter in Nephilim bodies and they do everything they want because the Fallen Angels haven’t got outside feelings only sentiments. Nora Grey is the key for all that because she has turned the leader of the Nephilim.

The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm
In his classic work, The Art of Loving, social philosopher Erich Fromm explores love in all its aspects—not only romantic love, steeped in false conceptions and lofty expectations, but also brotherly love, self-love, the love of God, and the love of parents for their children.

Finally, I decided to sit down quietly, remember everything I read in the last 15 years, and make a list of my favorite books. To be honest, I have not read all the books from the list several times, but from each book I got an almost indescribable pleasure in the process of reading.
10. All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque (novel)
9. Erich Maria Remarque "Life on loan" (novel)
8. Somerset Maugham's Theater (novel)
7. Stendhal "Red and Black" (novel)
6. Mikhail Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time" (novel)
5. Somerset Maugham "Burden of Human Passions" (novel)
4. Somerset Maugham "The Moon and the Penny" (novel)
3. Mikhail Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita" (novel)
2. Antoine de Saint-Exupery "The Little Prince" (story)
1. Oscar Wilde "Portrait of Dorian Gray" (novel)
I would advise everyone to read these ten works, if someone hasn’t done it yet. By the way, you can find a bunch of reviews for each of these on YouTube.

I just finished reading Tommy Orange's There There. It is an absolutely fantastic work that speaks about the lives of Native Americans and their story of estrangement and displacement from America they knew to the USA that was built by white men. Going beyond the emotional and touching experience of the work, it is a historically important work in the new wave of literary resistance as a pioneering work of the New Native Renaissance. An absolutely engrossing piece of literature everyone must read, also, this is one work I'd recommend everyone to read for their young ones at home.

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

It's about the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and also H.H. Holmes, who is considered the first serial killer in the post-industrial revolution age. There is a lot of information about the architecture of the time, which admittedly I knew nothing about before, but was absolutely fascinated with.

I am currently listening to a murder mystery on my Kindle while I am knitting. The murder mystery is Left Early, Took My Dog, by Kate Atkinson. Ms. Atkinson has written a series of murder mysteries starring Jackson Brody, who has been a policeman and then a private investigator. Ms. Atkinson writes beautifully and meditatively. She lets you into the minds of her characters. Her novels are much more than murder mysteries, and I highly recommend them.

I have read many books recently, but the latest book I read was "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger :-D I found it to be an interesting and engaging read. The story is about a teenage boy named Holden Caulfield, who is struggling to deal with the death of his brother. Holden is extremely sulky and doesn't want to continue living in a world that contains so much pain. He decides to run away from home and live a life of adventures. Throughout the story, Holden struggles with many personal issues, including his own mental health. I found the book to be very relatable and thought-provoking. It's definitely worth a read if you're looking for something different. Do you read this book?

Currently, I'm reading the works of the Swiss Psychologist Jean Piaget on Transductive Reasoning - an erroneous method of thinking where a cause and effect relationship is drawn between two events that are not logically connected.
But if you ask for a single book, the recent one was Haruki Murakami's Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman.

I had a similar situation, but not exactly exactly. I decided to try programs from the Internet and did not lose. I came across the wunderkiddy website, which helped me a lot. In a couple of weeks, my son began to make positive changes in his studies.
