I dont know any of them fox but they sound super deep . I can see why they would have impacted you :)

1-A critical analysis of some historical, religious and social sides of the Arab community.
2-A historical study from a philosophical point of view.
3-Two novels, they reflect the unique nature and personality of the German novelist Franz Kafka.
4-A novel based on true story (the diaries of a Russian officer during the Tsar era).

When I was kind of young, I read a lot of books and stories about horses, and I never owned a horse. I read the whole Happy Hollister series.


How about Misty of Chincoteague?drinker

Oh, and The Horse Whisperer was a great book before it was a movie

I read the Happy Hollisters also, loved them. I read and reread those!!

Oh my Gosh! Got a week?
Well off the top of my head, discovering Rumi was a real eye opener.

I think all of life and love's mysteries were answered by ancient Persian Poets. (Mostly Rumi, but also Hafez, Shirazi, Khayyam, and others.)

The Prophet - Khalil Gibran


(When very young)....anything by Richard Bach

Edit: and certainly #s 1 and 3 on "your" list......And Still I Rise

Nice Choices

Recently I have been interested in character and world-building.
Been reading about writing fiction.

Its kinda funny that most writer help articles and resources make you think about personalities, interactions and over-looked aspects of the world.

Applying these aspects to real-life gives an ability to recognize traits and appreciate the overlooked, mainly because while studying how to write it, you learn what to look for. Then you see it.

I took the time to read this post from the begging

Very profound in every aspect, the diversity of lecture

I most confess, I had never read the Bible, and I was born and raise in a Catholic Home

I just know a few passes and quotes, but merely because they inspire a lot

I read a lot, anything just for Fun or interest, beginning With Plato and The Republic from Horse of Troy from J.J. Benítez

I long time ago I read a lot about psychology because I was living in Cuba and rent an apartment with a great a mont of cabinets with all kind of book, I randomly take one, I got immersed in how to read dreams and life
I am not an skeptical or a true believer,

But there’s a lot of knowledge in every book !!

* Gary Chapman (The Five Love Languages) - haven't finished reading it :/ But it made a lot of sense to me and it's an eye-opener. Mr. Chapman is awesome!

* Dr, Axe - I don't follow everything, but I believe in his cause. I learned a lot about health and functional medicine.

* Dave Ramsey - have only watched a few of his videos on YouTube. The first one, and the one that really influenced me about savings and finances, is the Seven Baby Steps.
