I have enjoyed reading more as an adult than I did as a school going lad.

I have read a number of books this year and the following have been my personal favourites:

1. "The Knack" by Norm Brodsky

2. "Debt Free Living" by Larry Burkett

3. "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell

4. "Love is the Killer App" by Tim Sanders

5. "Career Renegade" by Jonathan Fields


Any one out there who cares to share their list?

No no no Sad

I'm with @Njung'e on this... though different publications certainly smile

How can Wazuans be so cultured, yet we are in a community. That's why I was determined we would read together to help the reading laggards, where I find myself at the moment.

This year, I only read one book Purple Hibiscus. I haven't even finished from Charcoal to Gold Sad

I need to read the right kind of material. It's like going to a gym or training for a marathon - difficult to do all alone. I need help, I just wish we could do it together...

@Muganda i see your point but a tall order if you ask me..This year i have not read much however among others:

1) Nomad - Ayaan Hirsi
2) Purple Hibiscus - Chimamanda Ngozi
3) One Hundred years of Solitude ( Finally)
Marquez Garcia
4) Highly Effective Marrige - Nancy Van Pelt

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.
