Best book you have ever read?

Jovi — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 23:31:13 GMT

Hi there,

Like you, I have been spending a lot time curled up on the couch reading (not a hardship since I love to read) and always on the look out for good books to read!

I am reading The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer right now and would highly recommend it - lots to reflect upon...

Would you share what book are you reading or have read that you really enjoyed?

Haven't read a novel, or any entire book for a long time, but some that always come to mind are, "The Stand", by Stephen King, and "Clan of the Cave Bear", along with the rest of that series, by Jean Auel. 👍

Thanks! I am going to add those to my list of books to read, then again, I spend way too much time indoors. Going to hit the trails since the weather has been mild and even sunny! 🙂

Haven’t heard of that book before. Thanks, I will check it out. 🙂

Are you an avid reader?

I have seen the movie. Is the book better?

Lord of the rings and the Hobbit are also great reads.

When you post something like that, you should either use the "Quote" button, to quote the post you're replying to, or in some other way make it known which post you're replying to...... you typed three posts directly below my previous post, so it's hard to tell to whom you're replying. 🤔

@Jovi It does make it a little difficult to follow who you're responding to without tagging or quoting...just use the @ key when replying and the names of people in the conversation will populate.

It's been a long time since I've read too, although I keep meaning to read more either new or re-read old favourites, somehow never get around to it. So the last book I read all the way through and couldn't wait to finish (I've tried some others and never finished) was Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. That was a great read and I'm hoping to get around to reading his sequel, Angels & Demons which has sat unread on my bookshelf unfortunately!

@dabr @Thanks for the tips!

I will add The DaVinci Code to my list! Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

Great suggestions! Thank you 🙂

No problemo..... in case you don't know how to access the quote button, when you hit the "Reply" button on any particular post, on top of the message editor window that pops up, on the right side, there's 3 dots, for a function named, "Expand Toolbar", which will then bring up a 2nd row of gadgets, and if you click on the Quotation mark gadget, the message you're replying to will be quoted, as yours is in this post.

Anyway, the reason I mentioned you do that, is because in one of your posts on the previous page you said, "I have seen the movie. Is the book better?"...... I'm pretty sure nobody here know which person you were replying to, because you might've been referring to "The Chronicles of Narnia", "The Stand", or "Clan of the Cave Bear". On that topic, I think it's generally accepted that the book is almost always better, and in the case of the two books I mentioned, that IS the case. 👍

I couldn’t find the 3 dots to locate the expand tool??

Apparently PM STILL hasn't fixed the issue of no access to it when using a phone, as per @Jb456 's thread here: Quote button for mobile users so if you're using a phone, or maybe even a tablet(although, IIRC, @darlicious said she could access it on her tablet?), you may not be able to get it. If, however, you're using a regular computer, it works as described, and shown in the pics below.

Got it! I am using an iPhone so it doesn’t show. Thanks!
