My favorite are books about history for sure. Eye witness stories,why and how things happened.
Also some really practical ones,explaining something in particular. But to viden my imagination and just to be train my mind and thoughts I like to read different books.
Earlier I was not really keen on reading at all,but after some really eye opening advices I started to see how reading enriches me.
@edgarsart I have no idea, like really, how you survived before you re-discovered books? I need to read them like I need to eat to survive.
It's interesting how you read basically everything. Person who opened your eyes should be really into the books and you too. :)
@jyoti-thelight They are great, I agree!
@mmo-mmo Oh, biography is my go to when I am really into something!
I agree with you about the truth, I guess that's why I can not live without reading all my life.
@adanesus Haven't heard of this book, will put on my to read list this year! If you have a time, let me know what you think of it when will finish reading!
@manikandants I am more then just happy to hear that!
@jamesdeagle Oh my! I was not expecting any answers or that long! But I am really happy to see how detailed and even with link you answered to my question! I have never heard of this, I definitely will read this too (once I will finish my (now even more) never ending to read list). Sounds really interesting and perspective changing, so I guess I will get this one faster then some other books. Thank you so much for sharing and your recommendation!
@ends60119 Happy to hear! Also, I am thinking and looking at that book for a while now, is this a sign?😂
Thank you @edgarsart for introducing me to @msendija1 a whole lot of potential in this Steemian. Great job. 👏
I'm not sure if you were looking for a small book report, but here it goes, anyway:
I am currently reading The Orthodox Church: An Introduction to Eastern Christianity, by Timothy Ware (now known as His Excellency the Most Reverend Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia). Since converting to Orthodox Christianity this has been at least a once- or twice-a-year read, as it is fascinating yet dense with information, and so with each pass I'm retaining stuff I thought I had forgotten as well as picking up on things I had just plain missed in previous readings.
I would recommend this book not only for a seeker or recent convert, but also for a Protestant or Catholic who simply has an academic interest in the subject matter. As for me, I found myself acquiring a whole other understanding of my Protestant background, and saw my faith tradition of origin in a whole new light. (One of the revelations, and one that was contrary to my longheld understanding, was that Catholicism is much closer to Protestantism than it is to Orthodoxy, and that even through Protestantism started as an anti-Catholic reactionary movement it is indeed a child of Rome, two sides of the same coin, so to speak. Orthodoxy, as Ware notes, evolved on its own path after its separation from the West in 1054, and as such was almost - but not quite - immune to many of the historical shifts that shaped Western Christianity so deeply, such the dark ages and the Age of Enlightenment.)
In addition to Christians (of any stripe), this book is also an engrossing read for students of religion as well as European and Middle Eastern history. For this reason, the book is also a great example of the kind of stuff I like to read on any given day.
my favorite books are novels
As a child I loved the books of Dr. Seuss - they really taught me how to read. As a teenager I Ioved science fiction and mysteries.
Now, older, I like true history, autobiography and biography, and philosophy / metaphysics. The truth really is stranger than fiction.
