What has your recent read book taught you or brought to your realization?

Post by Pallavi Lakra »

I've always been a curious person as to what an individual's life is worth.
My recent read that was 'Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl' made one thing clear to me that we all sub-consciously know deep down.
That is every human being has a unique purpose to fulfill and no other human can replace the another's purpose.

What did you realise while finishing your last read?

Latest Review: You, This Is Me...OVER?! by Clinton Beaudel Dooley

So, I picked up Emily Post on Entertaining at Goodwill a few years back and I finally read it the other day. I thought it was a much older book on etiquette, which is why I bought it in the first place. I thought it would be fun to read about how people dealt with such things a couple hundred years ago. It actually is more recent and isn't very long. There are a lot of "rules" to etiquette - even invitations fall under one category or another. A lot of rules are kind of common sense when you think about it. Some rules are perplexing; for instance, a "buffet" is when guests fill their plates in the dining room and then bring their food to the another room to eat.
Also, you can't invite your boss to certain things before they invite you, and you should send them a written invitation. I will probably never use most of the information I learned from this book, but it was interesting. You have to use a different tablecloth for a tea than you would for a dinner! Hmmm...

Mmm. I would have to say Guilty when Black. This book I read through this website and is based on real life. Usually most of the books I read based on real life tends to history and the likes but I have read a couple that was based in my lifetime as I called it. Guilty when Black is the most recent one of those, here it goes over racism within the justice system and includes a little something else. It was an eye opener as they want through that, it brought up the bad and the good.
