What Are Currently Reading?
I am looking forward to reading Jordan Peterson's new book "Beyond Order." His book "12 Rules for Life" is a great book I have recommended it to many people.
Today I have started read the Hay Bin Yakzan by ibn Sina and İbn Tufeyl. And it's about islamic philosophy
Just finished reading the short story, “The bridal march” by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. I decided to create a video review of the story here. I hope you do enjoy it. https://youtu.be/VUyLd2PqW8U
I just started reading The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. I had to wait months for it on the Cloud Library, so I'm super stoked to finally get at it. I really love all of her books.
Just read Start with Why by Simon Sinek.Throughout this book companies, successful CEO's and those in leadership positions are analyzed. Author Simon Sinek writes, "With a little discipline, any leader or organization can inspire others, both inside and outside their organization, to help advance their ideas and their vision. We can all learn to lead." Although I do agree with this perspective, I must say that a true leader establishes their "intention" first and foremost, meaning inspiration + passion + purpose + intention are all elements I believe are required in order to be an effective and positive leader. Good reads with really important points and observations.

Elena Ferrante is one of the most fascinating writers of the moment. Her characters are alive on the page.Pierre

I agree! I've read The Lying Life of Adults, and My Brilliant Friend, and am now enjoying The Story of a New Name, and have the next two books in the Neapolitan Quartet ready to read next!
Let me know Leslie if the next two meet your expectations. By the way - I know I'm changing the subject - did you see the article on Ishiguro in the NYTimes book review? This is another great author.

Anu wrote: "i have heard Ishiguro is a brilliant writer ...his books r on my TBR"I have heard of his books of course, but haven't read any yet.
I just finished reading "Lord of the flies" by William Golding. Decided to review it and publish the video of the review. You can watch it here. https://youtu.be/lvTAriiV8C8If you enjoyed the video, as I am sure you will, subscribe to my channel. I will be publishing new videos and author interviews in the coming day.
