The 100 Most Influential Books Ever Written: The History of Thought from Ancient Times to Today

I am by no means a great votary of any kind of "Best" lists and find them too subjective and at times highfalutin. But this list of the 100 most influential & mind-expanding books ever written seemed quite apposite and all-encompassing. British literary critic & historian Seymour-Smith's survey of what he considers the 100 most influential books is a searching inquiry into major thinkers, writers and philosophers. Seymour-Smith finds most modernist techniques already...

Fragile Eternity – Melissa Marr

posted by pure-angel

Seth wasn’t trying to pretend things were all right.
“I don’t know what happened between you two before tonight but I can probably guess…”
The look Keenan gave him confirmed Seth’s fears.
“Right. Here’s the thing. If she chooses to give you more than her friendship, it’ll suck for me. Probably how you feel now.”
Keenan was motionless, but it was much the same way that caged lions became motionless – sizing you up for weakness. For all their feigning humanity, faeries were something Other. Aislinn was Other, and the longer she was with them, the further away from mortal normalcy...

The Iron Knight (Iron Fey, Book 4) — Julie Kagawa

posted by pure-angel

My name—my True Name—is Ashallayn’darkmyr Tallyn.
I am the last remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court. And I am dead to her.
My fall began, as many stories do, with a girl…
The fourth book in the Iron Fey series is easily my favorite and I’m sure I won’t be alone in thinking that. At the end of the third book, Meghan banished Ash from the Iron Realm, knowing he would stay by her side despite how harmful living in the Iron Realm would be to his health. But before he left, Ash made an oath that he would find a way to be with her. The Iron Knight tells the story of Ash’s...

My thoughts on Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

posted by mitchie19

I never really planned reading Hush Hush. In bookstores, I just passed by the books, seeing Hush Hush in a display. I know its about Fallen Angels but the cover didn't buy me. I didn't study it too well...until I read it.

I borrowed the book from my classmate who's an ultimate bookworm. I started reading it since she handed it to me. I finished it just today. =)

For me, Patch was bad-ass, sense of humor, sweet and caring. I liked the way he did to Nora when they were making tacos in the kitchen then she was sat up on the counter and Patch started kissing her jaw. Also another one especially the...

SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE: The Revolutionary New Science of Human Relationships

posted by juicyjossy9

Daniel Goleman, 2006, 334 pages

Goleman in his groundbreaking book reveals that neural linkages between humans influence the brain and the body. These invisible bridges give us the ability to change people's moods, emotions, and health - as these people can do to us. Relationships not only shape emotional states and general psychological experience, but also the very physiological matter that makes our body. Our interactions with people influences our immune system, circulation, hormones, and breathing for example.

Social Intelligence expands from the one-person psychology within an individual...

She's been given home movies chronicling her entire life, which spark memories to surface. But are the memories really hers? And why won't anyone in her family talk about the accident?

The keeper of the forbidden light chapter 4

sorry it took so long here is chapter four.

The night was cool and dark. You can’t even see three feet in front of you. It is a good thing I want them to see me. Otherwise I would have fell over a hundred times because of those tree roots. And above all I have the worst possible luck because my flashlight is dying. It flickered once twice three times and I am now left in the dark. I threw aside my disappointing flashlight and picked a good tree and started to climb.

I was almost half way up the tree trunk when I heard barking. Is that a dog? Then I saw a blinding light in the darkness. And...

THE WORLD WITHOUT US – A fascinating eco-thriller … Gripping

posted by juicyjossy9

Alan Weisman
2007-2008
A MUST READ

The simple but irresistible premise of Alan Weisman's The World Without Us - what would happen to the planet if human beings simply disappeared - lit up imaginations even as it ignited controversy around the world.

Weisman's "thought experiment" examines what would happen in both the immediate and distant future to the land, the animals, the oceans, our cities, our art, and all manner of things we take for granted if we were no longer here. Would the seas again teem with fish? Would our concrete jungles crumble to make way for natural ones? How long, if ever, would it take for our collective footprint to fade away?

Available in hard cover, paperback and CD

Now, in what is being called a tour de force by leading scientists, he presents his audacious theory of ‘six songs,’ the key to how music shaped humanity across cultures and throughout history.

Preserving the emotional heritage of our lives and of our species, music from its very beginning, was allied to dance, as the structure...
