Currently reading \"What Happy Women Know\" by Dan Baker and Cathy Greenberg. Quite enlightening. Posted the following in another thread but still wanna share it here:
From the book:
\" Money cannot buy happiness. ... ...the human brain quickly becomes conditioned to positive experiences. Our newest possessions make us happy for only a certain period of time before our brains become used to them. Then we need more to restore that happiness summit, only to adapt to those pleasures and head out in search of the next high. Think about it. How long is your happiness sustained after you get a raise? If you're like most people, within a 2-month period, you've adapted to the extra money and are already lusting after the next raise.\" -
Hi! I am new. How delightful to find this thread! Am currently chasing the TV series Pillars of the Earth on Fox, written by Ken Follet. I realised I had forgotten the story since reading it more than 10 years ago although I remember it being so vivid in my mind days after I finished the book. So am planning to finish the series before re-reading it!

Wow so many bookworms! I loved to read. Yes. LoveD. No time nowadays to do leisure reading. I think my last book was about a decade ago?
I would recommend an old title. Ghostwritten by David Mitchell. A very enchanting novel worth your reading over and over.
Spoiler alert for the wiki link below. I strongly recommend reading the book first!

Currently reading this book "Life Without Limits" by Nick Vujicic. About this guy who was born with no arms and legs, and how he overcome many obstacles to become who he is today. Very touching, very inspiring, excellent read!
Reading about his life story made me wonder why folks like him who has no limbs can live such a fruitful and purposeful life motivating and inspiring other people; while others like the underaged hooker in the current court case scandal just ruin her own life and that of other people. -
Hi, I am a bookworm too. Glad to chance upon this thread. But have not been reading for a long time ever since I have my 2nd child.
