Suggest A Good Read...


Recommended Posts

i highly suggest "The Haj" by Leon Uris. it is a story of a man who went into a pilgrimage to mecca and thus became a haj. the story deepens when the first jews from the holocaust started arriving in Palestine and establishing a state of their own. This book will give readers a somewhat augural view of what's happening in the middle east right now. although it was written years ago, it is a timely book for those who want to examine the root of the middle east conflict. palestine, readers will know, was the twice promised land: the british first promised it to native palestinians, and then to the jews. moreover, the country jordan was once part of palestine, before it was turned into a puppet government by the british. it is no wonder, then, that palestinians and jews are fighting over a very small piece of land when they could have more if jordan wasn't created in the first place.

i suggest another one, this time from one of the greatest spy novelist, John Le Carre. the title of the book is "the little drummer girl". yup, the title is what you see, but it is not a children's story. the story takes place somewhere in europe where a team of israeli secret agents are trying to capture the leader of a palestinian terrorist group, and, if possible, destroy the organization itself. then they saw this actress and asked for her services to infiltrate the terrorists' circle. overall, the book is thick with a ingenious plot, engaging characters, and hardcore action sequences.

i like reading Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki....

Its a nice book... This book is about choosing new options, new directions, and new financial future. You will know here the difference between an employee, a self-employed person, a business owner and an investor, Why some investors make money with little risk while other investors just break even, How you can be a successful investor regardless of which quadrant you are in today.

if you're into supernatural /spiritual thrillers , check out FRANK PERETTI's work:

 

THIS PRESENT DARKNESS and

 

PIERCING THE DARKNESS

 

it's about angels and demons and their interaction with humans.

 

actually, i like peretti's writing so much that i will also suggest

 

THE OATH (medyo mild horror 'to...pang stephen king fans) ,

THE VISITATION, and

THE PROPHET.

 

 

ahhh..peretti is one of the remaining vestiges of my "good boy" days. :P
