I‘ve walked passed this one in the stores many times and I don‘t know why... maybe it‘s the title. Sometimes chaos is exactly what is needed to truly feel alive. So, I didn‘t want another ‘self help‘ philosophy book because I‘ve read a few. But, I‘ve gotta give it a go. Have you read this one? How did you find it??

Pretty cool. It helped that I‘ve visited Norway in the winter so I could picture some of the scenes fairly well. Helps that Nesbo is quite good at describing the scenery and weather.

Very keen to read this as I love Boy Swallows Universe. Living in remote Far North Queensland in Australia also gives great appreciation for the descriptions of the weather, setting and characters. Loving it so far! I wonder if people outside of Australia that have never been here would truly love Trent‘s writing?

My curiosity, in a sense, was stronger than my fear.

Better late than never???

Time for something a little different.. anyone else read this one??

About to start this one. Anyone following me read it?

What a wonderful book! I love the way that it was written. A great story of relationships that highlight the pain, joy and adventure of growing up. Much of this story would resonate with all human beings. The following is a song from the mind of Benjamin Trotter; ‘Mirthless merriment, sickly sentiments. So commonplace, it would bore you to tears. Give me non-stop laughter, dispel disaster. Or the Rotters‘ Club might well lop off your ears.‘

Time for something different. Put philosophy aside for a while to get lost in some adventures. I‘m looking forward to this one as I grew up in the punk scene.

A mix of practical and spiritual approaches to daily life. I did like Chapter 6; Success In The Workplace. It highlighted the link and balance of being successful financially and spiritually through will and dedication to ones work.

Right beneath the flesh is a tremendous current.
By the pickaxes of self-realisation
I have found that Life Force again.
I and my Father are one.
I am not the flesh.
I am a bundle of electricity behind this body.

Enjoyed this book, very practical and easy to use. Already began some of the exercises and feeling good.

About to start this one..

Even the blackest mood has a profound meaning for us and is a blessing in disguise.

Ready for lockdown.. anyone read any of these??

Here we go!! Another one from Master Watts. I hope I enjoy this one.

“I am never upset for the reason I THINK.” Enjoyed how this is contemporary with examples from multiple religions and philosophers.

Simply written and an amazing account of an amazing life. Really makes your problems seem like nothing.

Wonder if I‘ll like this one?

Well written obviously but a little depressing at the same time.

Loved the ending of this one!

10/10

Easy to follow along as The Fargo‘s untangled the webs of another mystery.

The island this guy lives on is not far from where I live. I got a lot out of this book. Remote living really changes your perspective on life.

Quite inspiring!

Hatred causes bad decisions.

The unknowable

About to start the latest offering from the master and his son. So many of them are similar but are so well written and provide a good adventure to destress from work just before sleep.

One of the best books I‘ve ever read. Made me truly think deeply about my life and all of the people I have known that are no longer alive. I will read this again at some stage.

‘This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, dying the sun.‘

The Americans and Russians both want it......

Just finished with Dirk Pitt and now it‘s back to Juan Carbrillo and the Oregan Files. Cussler is a legend!

How will Dirk Pitt save the world from a shadowy conspiracy hellbent on using America‘s latest military technology?

Thoroughly enjoyed

Hope this helps!

Here we go again Clive! Bring it on mate

A little mixed emotions finishing this. It was extremely well written but I couldn‘t truly attach to the characters and visualise them well which is definitely more my fault than the authors. It felt like a massive build up with an ending that I knew was coming but with less action.

$6 well spent down at the cafe!

My son graduated from Daycare and we read books every night. I hope he continues his learning and reading for the rest of his life.

This book is about the history of where I am currently living. The harsh history of colonisation in Far North Queensland, Australia.

I am going to start this one as a light reader before bed. What are people‘s thoughts on this one?

A single book can change your life.

The covert world of deception and betrayal was close to destroying Danny across the Irish Sea. Fifteen years later the stakes are higher, the risks greater and there is an added agenda on the table. Danny will have to prove, above all to himself, that he has not softened, that he is hard and ruthless as before... if he wants to survive.

Sleep happens when specific areas of our brain simultaneously activate and deactivate.

About to begin this book.
