jmh1216 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I've hardly read a thing since my breakup 4 months ago. Can anyone recommend some good books (novels, etc)... hopefully books with the humour, optimism, and good spirit to keep me company and help me heal? Link to comment
geo_jane Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I don't know if you want to read something specifically about relationships and stuff or if you want more of a diversion from that stuff since you've just been through a tough time...anyway, I just finished reading the D'Vinci Code by Dan Brown and really enjoyed it. It's fast-paced, intelligent and well-written. I highly recommend it. Hope that helps Happy reading! Link to comment
k33 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Since you are a guy, I'd recommend High Fidelity or anything by Nick Hornby. Bridget Jones is good for a girl, and super funny either way. I am also a big fan of "Series of Unfortuante events" by lemony snicket, kids books? Yes. Funny? Heck yeah.... I read magazines and short stories most... short attention span. Link to comment
Clarabelle Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I love funny stuff, esp. when I'm going through tough times. I read the book of essays "Naked" by David Sedaris and I laughed my a** off. I love the movies too. There's nothing like putting your life on hold and sitting in a dark movie theatre. I have been to some funny movies lately. Most of them were kind of dumb, but who cares? I watched "super tropers" and "up in smoke" again at home and I saw "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle".

RayF Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 These are two books tha helped me ALLOT. The first helped me understand what went wrong in the relationsip, what i did wrng what she did wrng and what not to do next time. The Seven Principals for Making Marriage Work. trust me it's excelent The secnd is a more spiritual book and can be a little hard to connect to in times but i think is what really pulled me together during this dificult time. It's sort of my bible. The Power of Now. please read both of these, they will help you. Link to comment
Mjane Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 If I'm so wonderful why am I still single? By Susan Page It's a great book if you feel like you need some kind of direction in dating. I also love the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It's adventure, heroism and mystery. Link to comment
fantasia2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Aesops fables or Winnie the Pooh. Two great reads that make you smile and think with love and innocence. Trust me it did wonders for me and I love them Link to comment
