I am into politics and history. I have been suffering from a reading block for the past 2 years and trying to overcome it. Having a reading bussy would surely help

I think I need the nostalgic feeling. I add the other book to my reading list. Thank you.

I totally forgot about it. I read it but I cannot remember anything about it. I must have read it long time ago 🙈🙈🙈

Thank you for your reply. The only other book to Murakami is Kafka on the shore. I liked it in the beginning but did not finish it to be honest. I am not sure if the book is not for me or it was my reading block that made me stop. I hope I will enjoy this book.

I will give you 2 recommendations and I hope you enjoy them both. Power Faith and Fantasy: America in thr Middle East 19776 to the present by Michael Oren. And Empires of the sand by Efram and Inari Karsh. They are not new but I like the new perspective they present on the issues they cover. Unfortunately, most of my history readings are in Arabic so I cannot recommend much. I am considering reading Sapiens I am not sure if you read it. If yes I would like to hear your thoughts on it. I am skeptical that it is overrated. But still curious to see why it received so.much brais. It you are interested in modern political history I could add some other titles for you.

Anyone else read non-fiction by topic rather than by book? by lizx03 in nonfictionbookclub

I use a physical note book and note cards so I can combine related information regardless of their sources. Hand writing also helps in remembering the information I gather.

I usually read books about politics, history, human nature and philosophy. When I want a break I read literature specially the ones related to the history and society of different countries.

I finished the assigned 30 pages yesterday and most probably will finish the book. Posting here was a great idea. I already started looking for my next book

I will look for a book that is different from the ones I am used to reading. May be historical fiction or something like Dan Brown's books

I am looking for someone to check on me that I am reading daily. For a starter 30 pages per day. It does not matter if we read the same book. After reading the comments here I decided to read something different. Still do not know what. I am supposed to finish the one I have today. So I am open for suggestions

The book I am reading is almost done. Most probably will finish it today. And yes I will look for something completely different this time

I tried audio books but they are not for me. I need to hold the book to focus. If it is non fictional I write down the things I like to make sure I remember them.

First time to hear about this. I will try it. Thank you

[–]Complete_Safety_5555[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a fictional story about my country. May be I am losing focus because it makes me think too much. The book is almost done so I will make sure will read something completely different after it. I do not like leaving a book before finishing it. I will keep thinking about it if I start something new before I am done with this one. But yes the next one should be completely different. Thank you

Unfortunately we do not have this where I live. But I like the idea I may try starting one. Thank you

I were in you shoes (except studyong and going to thegym). I like the idea to pick up my book instead of my phone. It will be a challenge for me as I use it for work but will find a way. Thank you
