Other ideas for the control of lustful thoughts include the placement of marmite, yoghurt, gravel, congee, or dental paste into the underpants. Which?

Are your breasts getting enough dietary fibre? Don't you fear the consequences??

Update on the Nook e-reader

This is awesome, wild news. Last night Mr. Kat and I talked briefly about what I might do. Then today, I went to B & N and looked at what they had. Apparently B & N is no longer selling the Nooks that are really a Samsung (Android) tablet. ...

My Nook e-reader is broken

And nothing either I or Mr. Kat tried could bring it back to life. Damn! 😠 Check the next post — UPDATE!

The Boy at the Door by Alex Dahl

It’s a psychological thriller set in Norway, with an unreliable narrator. I recommend it!

What is that one book you'd always recommend someone reads?

Recommend that absolute favorite or most insightful book you've ever read.

This book looks strangely sexy

Well to me anyway 😜 😁

My current favorite: The Seven Habits of Highly Infected People by Stephen R. Covid

I want to get caught up in a good book... Any recommendations?

I’m currently reading the perks of being a wallflower. I’m already on Part 3 of 5 and so far I like it. It’s really good and interesting.

I read an article in curiousmindmagazine about how single women are the happiest. While I don't agree on everything it says, some parts of it made me think. I have to admit though that these words below hit the bull's-eye. "...And if ...

I love reading novels!! I especially like novels with the genre of mystery/thriller and fantasy/romance. I go to book fairs whenever I can and I almost always save money to buy books that I like. It's too bad not one of my blockmates and friends...

'On a mountain above the clouds once lived a man who had been the gardener of the Emperor of Japan. Not many people would have known of him before the war, but I did. He had left his home on the rim of the sunrise to come to the central highlan...

"A letter always embodies the distance it must travel by coach, boat, train or plane...Even a letter's tactile quality is of the very essence of its journey through time and space. We still recognize- today more than ever perhaps- the preci...

I have read Thomas Mann's Joseph und seine Brüder (Joseph and his brothers) during the last weeks and I totally enjoyed it. One of the greatest masterpieces of German literature!

Anyone read A course in miracles? What do you think about it?

I like reading others post....as some help me out to solve own problem that i needed.....😀😀

Always have,quite liking the style of some recent books, great stories, and here's a random well written fragment of a dark scifi book ;) "Ezekyle Abaddon, He who watches the galaxy burn, through eyes bleached gold by the light of a false...

I've been reading since I was a child. I didn't have many friends growing up and my grandfather didn't let us get cable so I spent all my time reading. Reading keeps me distracted and I love sinking into the world of the written word a...

I have read Arthur Schnitzler's masterpiece Traumnovelle (Dream Story) today. It inspired Stanley Kubrick's last movie Eyes Wide Shut, but I prefer Schnitzler's work.

It’s weird how things start happening when you start to believe in something. I’d just finished reading the book “Angels in my hair”. I’d always been curious about angels. I’ve always wanted to read more about them. I’ve wanted to hear people’s expe...

What books are you currently reading?

I want to start reading and I need advice on what books to look up . Can you help ? I like uplifting dramas , I actually like anything as long as it's not those detailed intimacy stories .

Any other nonfiction lovers active at the moment? I feel like nonfiction doesn’t get enough credit. I always meet so many people who hate it and think it’s boring and I get why, it has a very different appeal than the plots and characters of fiction,...

“We believe that we can change the things around us in accordance with our desires—we believe it because otherwise we can see no favourable outcome. We do not think of the outcome which generally comes to pass and is also favourable: we do not succee...

Reading Sanmao's Stories of the Sahara and getting lost in it. I really need to escape my work.

Going for something new. About something old. LOL

What series do you guys like? I like Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and the Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness!

I devour two books a week in the winter. Sumner it goes down to one.

I remember having such a passion for reading when I was younger. Even though I was absolutely terrible at it, I loved when my mom or dad would come home with a new book for us to read together. But once middle school started and we go forced to read ...

Reading is a good therapy for neurotics; as far as I know.

When I meet someone who says they don't read often I get confused. Of course they read often. Whenever they're looking at their phone or a computer or road signs or advertisements or store fronts, they're reading!

When I was in school, I had this real smart teacher with Scottish ancestry (I'd think he was probably proud of it as he let us know). I think he believed you could increase your IQ as an adult and he once said, if I'm not mistaken, that t...

I think it's good for your mind to not just read a book, but think about what you're reading. There was a time when I wanted to expand my mind, so I got myself to read books, trying to exercise my mind. Lately, I've been out of the h...

I do unexpectedly travel with my family often. It is more convenient for my family if all books are ebook format.

Nearly always lies a book on my table. Some of my favorite authors are Jane Austen, Mark Twain and Virginia Woolf (I read them in German translations, I am way too lazy to read their original works!), also Theodor Fontane and Thomas Mann, and I still...

I forgot that. When I see a book that looks like it'll be interesting and I check it out only to find what a struggle it is to get into the story, I wonder if I don't like to read much anymore. Then, I pick up a book from one of my favorite...

The Gateway Drug... I have to admit, I have an addiction to reading. It all began when I was really young. Probably around 5 years old. For me, and for many young children across this fine planet of ours, Dr. Seuss was my ga...

Edward Abbey is one author that has inspired me on a daily basis. I wish I could have a camp out with me, him, H.D. Thereou( never can remember how to spell that), and Mark Twain. Imagine the campfire conversation would be sacrilegious, and border o...

All types of literature. Mysteries History and poetry are my favorite genres

I recently acquired a copy of Samuel Pepys diary. I love being transported back in time though a book. :)

Reading allows me to teleport into a new wonderful life. When I read I feel as if I am in the story watching everything unravel in front of me. It is a very magical feeling I will never get over.

I love getting lost in a book and feeling the emotions of a character. I enjoy using my imagination. I love the feeling you get when you can't put a book down because you need to know whats going to happen next. It distracts me from my reality a...

'I'll just read one more chapter.' I've been saying that to myself since I was quite young and missed out on sleep and been late for appointments because of it. I've never tried ebooks, but the real thing in my hand, the tur...

Do you ever think to yourself I should probably go socialize? But then you're like but I want to read this book! 😂

I have just completed Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys. No writer has pulled at my heartstrings and given me such anxiety and hope all at once the way that Sepetys has. Josie Moraine is my Hero and me in ways I can't even begin to describe. I am ...

A Book'S Impact... When I was about 13, I read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer for the first time. At first, I didn't know why people liked it so much. If I caught anyone dead reading that book, I assumed they were just f...

Great Escape... “It has often been saidthere’s so much to be read, you never can cram all those words in your head. So the writer who breeds more words than he needs is making a chore for the reader who reads. That's w...

Where Have All The Readers Gone?... I am currently 20 years old, and it shocks me to see how few people of my age read. They all prefer watching TV and movies. Then we wonder why young people today struggle to read. They don...

Any War Books???... I love reading and one if the topics I'm really into are books ba<x>sed on World War 2 eg "Private peaceful" , "the absolutist" (world war 1), they don't have to be real s...

Yes.... I love reading. I love opening a book (or kindle haha) a being taken to a whole new place. I love how perfectly placed words can stir your emotion without the help of background music. I love letting time fly through pa...

Books!... I like to read I guess.. I dont read that often as I use to though. Damn.. I use to be so well-rounded.. Anyways, I like to read realistic-fiction and romanceee anddd... I think thats it.. Anything else is boring to m...

In 4th grade the librarian told me I shouldn't check out a Harry Potter book for a weekend. I did, and I finished it too

Remember by Christina Rossetti Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future...

ya I do, so this quote by C.S Lewis suits me “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

The Nymph’s Reply To The Shepherd "But could youth last, and love still breed, Had joys no date, nor age no need, Then these delights my mind might move To live with thee, and be thy love. " ----Sir Walter Raleigh

Philosophy... For the Love Of Wisdom; understanding philosophy was seeing life through a glass; there is so much to learn; it's a life's journey.

I Love The Smell Of Books!... There is nothing like the smell of books, both new and old. I swear every time I am reading a book, I hold my nose close to the pages and inhale. I find the smell comforting and reminds me of my ha...

Post Book Depression: That feeling you get when you finish a good book that you didn't want to end. This is how I feel right now.

Just started Sharp ob<x>jects by Gillian Flynn. It seems very interesting so far.

My book selection for fall reading. I'm currently on "The Athenian Murders." If you have read any of these, let me if you liked/disliked them please.

IF U LIKE TO READ THIS 4 U (the reason i do promotion is bc most of ppl don't know that famous canadian website/app ) : https://www.wattpad.com/

Shatter me series, Alan Turing : The Enigma, Oscar Pill series and Wattpad stories are really great. Do you have any books to recommend me ?

I haven't read in a while, but I need to for my English class and omg I miss it! I especially miss the wonderful smell of the pages. I really need to go to the library soon!

I plan on writing a book soon, but I want to know if I could be sued for doing this. My book's story line is a little like the story line from the movie "Sharkboy and Lavagirl". In the movie the main character, Max, is at school when ...

Has anyone read the book Fahrenheit 451? I read that in school and that is my favorite book. Ray Bradbury was trying to send a message to people about the future and I agree with him. He is correct even about today. I do stay inside and use technol...

I am thinking about writing a book, but I'm not good with names.

"An Evil Cradling" by Brian Keenan is a book I recommend everyone should read. 📚

Always non-fiction. Camping, survival, weaponry,diy, and homesteading

I hate it when a good book ends. Sometimes when finishing a really good book, I go into a funk that can last weeks.

I wish I was better at focusing n making time for it. I love reading but it takes so much time (I'm not the fastest reader). I could say I don't have the time, but the truth is I'm not prioritizing it

Reading: The Count of Monte Cristo (Abridged) right now. The: Introduction and Notes by Luc Sante, and Consulting Editorial Director, George Stade edition. Currently on chapter XII, titled: Numbers 34 and 27. Very much in love with this book alread...

Recently started the Hannibal series again, since it has been awhile. I lost the books when I moved but picked them up through Barns & Noble. Read through Red Dragon in a week, Silence of the Lambs in three days, and I'm already halfway thro...

I love novels. Romantic historical and classical.

My books came in today! Gonna be pretty busy this week 😁

I could spend my whole paycheck on books. I just bought "I have no mouth and I must scream" by Harlan Ellison on Amazon. I wanted to buy several more books, but I know if I start adding them to my cart I won't stop 😝

Just finished a book about the Crusades by British-French writer Hilaire Belloc. Belloc was a fervent Catholic. Someone who did not hesitate to write 'Europe is the Faith, and the Faith is Europe'. His vision of history is, of course, Cath...

I read this today. It was quite inspiring. So sharing it here.. It was one seemingly ordinary day when I decided to QUIT… All of a sudden I made a decision to quit my job, my relationship and finally my spirituality. I just wanted to quit my life. ...

Reading is like when your legs went missing and you walk with that which was the legs of another, like when one plays around, if it is more than a game there are some stages before the penultimate low which is theft of the word, which is seen less ha...

Jerome David Salinger. Jerome? To say you've read all of Salinger's books is not as outrageous as it sounds. As far as I know, there were only four "books." I own them, and have read them. It was Mr. Arrington who got me started ...

HISTORY Once upon a time there was an island, where the following feelings lived: joy, sadness, vanity, wisdom, love and others. One day they told the residents of this island that she was going to be flooded. Terrified, love took care that all fe...

If i ever get a girlfriend ima cheat on her or break up with her over something dumb like "can i hav a dollar" "no" "then we r done"

And for some reasons I prefer to read essays lately over novels or short stories. I feel more interested in other people's thoughts than their lives. I see more diversity in the inside than in the outside.

I'm starting this book today, I've been putting it off because this election is sordid enough but curiosity has gotten the better of me.

Reading is enjoyable most times. I'm currently reading this book called The 48 Laws of Power. Its a good book, then I guess I'll be on to another one once I'm done. I like how my little sister likes to read. She always comes to me to b...

i wish the last incorrigable children of ashton place would come out! i am tired from waiting and i read all the miss peregrine home for peculiar children books and all the gregor the overlander books and i need something else good to read

The only thing I pay my money lavishly is on books lol I can't control it,I just love reading.

My mom says I read too much. I read The Outsiders once a week. Like, I'm not joking. I've read it once a week since I've got it in August. It's such a classic. But I read all sorts of books. It's just nice to be sucked into w...

Last night I found an old science fiction novel that looked interesting. I'm not usually one for fiction, but this one seemed to be a little different. It's called The End of Eternity and was written by Isaac Asimov, the guy who wrote the o...

Honestly, reading is my life. I read all the time. I'm one of those girls who always have their heads in books. READING IS AWESOME!

Just read that none of the 50 items that public libraries users in Madrid ask for more is a book. Most of them are magazines and movies. I am not surprised. I know that a number of avid readers have switched to e-book, but also evidence that the comm...
