Follow Friday # 30


Question: Keeping with the Spirit of Giving this season, what book do you think EVERYONE should read and if you could, you would buy it for all of your family and friends?

 Wow, there are so many that I'd love to share with everyone, but if I had to pick just one it would be:
Ulysses by James Joyce
Sure it's a book that tries too hard to be clever...but, you know what, it works.

  1. Hopping through. I'm such a loser. I haven't read Ulysses. I should some day.

  3. I'd adore that. You can send it to me any time.
    :-P

    It's been on my 'to-buy' list for a while, but I find the classics section daunting and usually only buy one at a time. I'll have to make sure I buy this soon!

  4. I promised a couple of fellow book bloggers I wouldn’t “machine gun” my Follow Friday posts on the blogs I visit but this week’s Follow Friday has inspired me to make an important exception.

    The book I think everyone should read is a work of non-fiction called The Four Hour Workweek. The thing is, the book is very well written and entertaining so it reads like a work of fiction. What the book can do to enhance your life and change the way you live day by day seems unbelievable on its face which might mark it a legitimate work of fiction for the skeptics out there.

    If you read this work of non-fiction and really follow the advice it gives and apply the insights you’ll gain, your life will read like a modern tale fairytale.

    I encourage, implore and even insist you follow me back to my book blog so you can find out why I think EVERYONE should read The Four Hour Workweek – http://www.howardsherman.net

    TGIFF!

  5. I had to read parts of Ulysses in school, but never liked it enough to read the whole thing:)
