What Book are you currently reading?

As much as I want to read fiction, with the current state of affairs of my financial life, I am reading most of the time with regards to how to get out of my financial rut (I am out of work right now). Motivational books, financial books, wealth management and the likes of it are now my staples. Maybe after this downturn in my life, only then I can divert my mind to "entertainment" for now it's all about being educated and doing something about my present situation.

Although I don't like reading books in English due my English level, but one book I had to read carefully from beginning to the end. The name of the book is Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship - 2nd Edition (2007) by The Home Office. Life in the United Kingdom: A Journey to Citizenship is an official book published by Home Office which is in charge of immigration affairs of the country. Although the book just has 145 pages in paperback it has a very big readers' group. It contains 6 chapters and has everything you need to know in order to pass the UK Citizenship Exam. I started to read the book about one month ago. At the beginning I was bored and felt difficult to go on. Every chapter seemed long and meaningless. Some topics seemed too easy and too ridiculous to be mentioned. For example do you know what's the number of the population of Indian or Chinese; What's the proportion of Sikh in British population. I wonder if people really need to know the exact numbers for being a qualified British citizen. Another example, if you lost your credit card what you should do? The answer is you should report your card company immediately. I wonder how many people in the world don't know this kind of common sense. However the more I read the book the more I realised these contents were wisely developed in the book. For every chapter it has a very clear clue to spread. On the way to understand every topic you can improve your English skill to a decent level. You can also get some knowledge that ordinary adult citizens of the country already know or should know. For example before I was quite vague about British political system. Some issues connecting to cabinet or shadow cabinet, the power of the Queen and the Prime Minister were interesting to me, however I didn't know these exactly. This book gave me a chance to get a big picture about British political system, educational system as well other wider ranges of life knowledge needed in the UK. Because now I have a clear idea about these issues I'm getting more interested in the upcoming general elections and our local election. Although I have no right to vote yet but at least I know what is happening around me and what people are talking about. Now I feel myself more belong to the country. Last but not least, as I mentioned above this book was released to help people in the exam of life in the UK. On 6 April 2010 I attended the test and gladly found all questions I came across could be found an answer in the book. Obviously I don't need to say how important and useful the book is for the test.

"Good Without God" by Greg Epstein, the Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University. The subtitle is "What a billion non-religious people really believe." It is about the humanist movement, and the different ways people live their lives without depending on any supernatural influences.

I am reading "The atlas of experience" by Louise van Swaaij and Jean klare. I like that book a lot and it is very different from the other books that I have read. It is a book full of maps, but names of the cities, the lakes, the mountains etc are very unusual. There are places like ambition, dream, happiness, help, secret and doubt. Between the maps the authors have written about different topics for instanse secrets, ideas, fairytales, emptiness and changes. I have read the book before, but I still enjoy the maps and the different chapters.

Right now I'm reading "The Restorer" by Sharon Hinck. It's a Christian High Fantasy, kinda like Chronicles of Narnia but for a much older audience. I really love fantasy novels, especially novels that completely create their own world. Most of my all-time favorite books are high fantasies.

Hello! The book I'm currently reading is "the undomestic goddess" by Sophie Kinsella, she's the one who wrote the Shopaholic series. I'm usually more of a fantasy person (harry potter and such like you Dark_void23) but I really like her writing and her stories are often really funny. I buy one of her books everytime I take a plane, light reading is perfect for travelling. This one in particular is amazing, so funny to read, it's about a girl with an extremely high IQ who's living for her job until she suddenly gets fired cause she made a huge mistake costing her company millions. Depressed, she boards a train and ends up working as a live-in maid for some nouveau riches while she cannot do anything inside a house at all and has not even the slightest idea on how to do it either. after that, I've got Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice waiting for me, I just downloaded the Ebook. Good reading to you all

What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell is a good read. I'm not really into romantic novels or any of that kind so I find those research, documentary or investigative types of books very interesting. It helps you learn so much about life in another perspective.

Stephen King and pet sematary..this is one of the best books for me ofcourse if you like horrors,this book is for you
