Every year on my birthday, I buy myself a book (naturally). Some years, it's been luxe like an art book - Odilon Redon's BEYOND THE VISIBLE. That was a cush present, even at the Strand in NYC (one of the world's best bookstores - like there's a bad bookstore). Some years it's been thrift stores or a non-bought book, like a book found on the street or a neighbor's treasure left on the stairs for a lucky bookworm, like me.
I'm feeling philosophical and these books are speaking to me, at fifty cents apiece at the church thrift store: Harold Kushner's WHO NEEDS G-D; Dale Carnegie's HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING; and Viktor E. Frankl's MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING. More deep than I thought I'd be on my birthday, but again these books are'speaking to me'. What does it mean?
Anybody read Kushner, Carnegie or Frankl? Which ones? Can you recommend any authors?
Oh yeah. I bought them all.
Birthday - what book shall I buy myself?
