Book Suggestions

I am a voracious reader, and sometimes I'll recommend a book that I think is worth reading. Generally, this will be a non-fiction book. Sometimes I actually have time to read for fun, and--hopefully--you do, too.

I am an affiliate of Amazon.com and I've built a Bookstore on this site where you can purchase just about anything Amazon.com offers.

Search Now:
 
In Association with Amazon.com

You should be aware that the search box, above, is useful for finding not only books, but also movies, games, toys, music, and much more. For example, try searching for 'The Lord of the Rings' and you'll find items in many categories.

For movie posters, framed art, and photographs, see Art Suggestions.

What are your favorite motivational books?

Now that I have a modern web browser, having just received the new Macintosh I bought, I've been looking at some things I wasn't able to do previously.

One of those things is viewing something called Plexo, which is available as one of the modules for building lenses at Squidoo.com.

Plexo lets you create lists of pretty much anything and then let others vote for what they like the most (by clicking the up arrow next to the item) or for what they like the least (by clicking the appropriate down arrow).

Not all Plexo lists use the down voting option.

So, I'd looked at Plexo and wasn't impressed. When I read something about some Plexo lenses in a group on MySpace a couple of hours ago, I decided to take a look.

Now, I understand why Plexo is starting to make some waves.

So, to test the waters, I created a new lens that is devoted simply to a Plexo list of Favorite Motivational Books.

I started the list with a few of my favorites and I encourage you to go there and vote for your favorite.

Don't see your favorite motivational or inspirational book? Feel free to add it to the list.

Pass the word along. I'm really interested in learning what the top ten motivational books will be.

It will take only a couple of minutes to go to Favorite Motivational Books and vote for your favorite. Won't you do it now, while you're thinking about it?

A couple of days ago, I completed reading The Sword Of Shannara trilogy, by Terry Brooks. I just wrote a review of The Sword Of Shannara trilogy in my Confessions of a Voracious Reader blog.

I highly recommend this book, even if I am decades late in discovering it.

Confessions of a Voracious Reader

This morning, I started a new blog called Confessions of a Voracious Reader and I'll be posting my thoughts about books, movies, art, and more in this blog. Sometimes I'll recommend something to you and other times I'll do my best to persuade you to steer clear of wasting your time.

Of course, I know that all of us have different likes and viewpoints and you and I may, or may not, be a good match. Since I tend to feel like a stranger in a strange land much of the time, you may not agree with my thoughts and recommendations.

My first posting is a recommendation for a couple of great self-improvement books. You're invited to read You'll See It When You Believe It: The Way to Your Personal Transformation, by Wayne W. Dyer.

There'll be more to come as I have time.
