I’m reading this translation, pretty good as far as I can tell…the book itself is indescribably good…don’t know what took me so long to pick it up and read it.

Good book but the movie ruined it for me. If one sees the movies first they are polluted with pre-loaded imagery that renders the great writing inert (IMHO). If you haven’t seen the movie I envy you. It will be a great read.
 
HERE IS A LIST OF MY MOST RECENTLY READ: “DEATH COMES FOR THE ARCHBISHOP” BY WILLA CATHER; “THE HELP” BY kATHRYN STOCKETT; “THE BOOK OF UNHOLY MISCHIEF” BY ELLE NEWMARK; “AN ARSONIST’S GUIDE TO WRITERS’ HOMES IN NEW ENGLAND” BY BROCK CLARKE. ALSO IN PROGRESS, “THE CREED” BY LUKE TIMOTHY JOHNSON. FOR OUR UPCOMING VACATION I HAVE IN MY CARRY-ON BAG “SAILING THE WINE DARK SEA” BY THOMAS CAHILL; “NO-MAN’S LANDS” BY SCOTT HULER AND FINALLY, “OUR LADY OF KIBEHO” BY IMMACULEE ILIBAGIZA. I OFFICIALLY HAVE NOW MORE BOOKS THAN I CAN POSSIBLY EVER READ. UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT RESIST THE TEMPTATION OF CHECKING OUT AMAZON.COM EVERY FEW DAYS . MY MAIL LADY MUST HATE ME!!!:tanning:

I’ve seen the movie, but only once, and it was a really long time ago, so I don’t remember it. 🙂

The Hidden Persuaders… Merchants through time have had their sales pitches but this book, written in the 1960’s told of the latest and greatest ways to dupe a shopper into buying something that may not have been beneficial, affordable or of good quality. Just make it look good, place it appealingly on a shelf and they will buy it. I shortchange the book and author. We bought the Gandhi DVD. It was terrific and so was Fireproof.👍

Starting on: Well, this one is not really any one book. I am going to start looking at creating a reading plan based on the last paragraph of the following entry on my blog:
