I am glad that I was able to offer you the information. The book is very good. It offers some great insights.
I appreciate that you care about manners. As you mentioned, ours is a world that does not value civility as we once did. Those on this site that know me will tell you that I champion manners and good behavior constantly. I do not believe that rudeness is "cool" and I treat people with dignity and respect. I also eschew profanity, as I find it incredibly distasteful in a public forum. So much of what we see and hear today is just disgusting and it is packaged up as "entertainment". Worse yet is the terrible way people treat one another!
It is tremendously encouraging to find a new member such as yourself that shares in these beliefs. I do hope you will become a regular here and share in the cause of bringing a bit of class and kindness to our Board.

Deep Freeze, I agree.
I haven't read this book you talked about, but I am so glad that you mentioned it and the topic of manners/civility. I am also greatful that there is someone out there who thinks the same thing that I do and says it.
It seems to be a past notion, civility and manners. We have gone so far from operating out of any thought beyond ourselves, in this "me", "have to have it now", "get out of my way", short attention spanned generation.
Example/true story: I was on the phone with a cust. serv. rep., trying to solve a problem caused by a cog in the big corporate machine(a stupid, rude, condecending, moron at a major utility). After my re-telling of the problem and informing this rep. of what needed to be done, and what I was going to do, she was able to give me some good news from her manager as to how they could help. I thanked her and moved towards ending the call. She stopped me and said how she would have been furious if the situation had happened to her, and she was amazed that I remained so calm. I replied that since I new that she didn't cause the problem, nor had she treated me badly, that I had no need to take out my anger on her. She then said that she would use my civility as an example for herself in the future. She truly was stunned that I could treat her with any respect.
I am stunned that more people don't seem to have a clue of how to treat others, much less an understanding of what it does to our society as a whole. What happened to basic respect? Have we forgotten, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"?

How To See Yourself As You Really Are - The Dalai Lama
Ok, firstly, this is not a religious book perse. What I mean by that is yes, it's writen by the leader of the buddhist faith but... you can also choose to read this book and use the meditations as day to day 'looking after my mind' sort of aid. I've always been a firm believer in meditation in order to keep your mind clear and rested. This book is a great guide to those who are interested in meditations for these reasons. The old beliefs are healthy mind = healthy body. You can believe in whatever religion that fits right for your soul and still benifit from this book. It is writen without the need to call one into the buddhist faith but rather to help mankind clear their minds.. (he he he there I go getting poetic on ya'll lol)
The first part of the book helps to deal with perspection, persception and how to suppres negative emotions.
The second part teaches us to understand the difference as to how we see ourselves, as opposed to how we actually are.
The third part is a step to step guide on how to meditate and capture it's possitive powers.
The fourth and fith part explains how we really exsist in relation to people and things.
Go on be brave, if you want an alternative look on things then you can't go wrong with this book. |

I've been a busy little reader this month... I should've concentrated on more writing but I was feeling decidedly uninspired so I got lost in the works of others instead. I'm not too sure if I'm feeling 'inspired' enough to write yet but I at least feel more informed. Considering I screwed up a pretty important publishing date, I guess I can at least take solace in the fact that I did something literary in the last month. Here goes:
The Adoring Audience by Lisa A. Lewis: Either "they" got "us" all wrong or I got very offended by "them" but I did not like the way that these academics summed us up. I was totall offended by the way that they seemed to represent the idea that all fans (but especially those of rock/metal music) are raving sociopaths likely to hunt down their idols and kill them in order to obtain their own fame. The contributers to this book seemed to take delight in separating "them" the sane normal upstanding citizens from "us" the drug crazed uneducated dreamers. Also, I found it very insulting that at the end of the book, the only fan letters that they published in the book were the ones written by the real insane fans ie; the letters from fans who hear voices in their heads telling them to destroy all their idols records etc. One letter in particular from a psychotic fan of Kate Bush who had ingested 200 asprin tablets and was lying in hospital dying from kidney failure as a result and blaming Kate Bush? Oh well, I guess some may find this book to be an acurate depiction of fans but I certainly do not.
Extreme by Sharon Osbourne: I needed to read this as I found it lighter and less offensive than the first book. I love the way Sharon writes as if she is sitting across a table from you sharing her life story as if you were having a cup of tea together. I think I enjoyed her first book more but this was because this book dealt with her father issues so maybe it touched on a sensitive note for me. Who ever ghost wrote this book for Sharon is an excellent ghost writer.
The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho: Any book by this author is a treat and inspiration. I loved the simplicity of this book as well as it's effective advice on life. One thing that stood out was the boys innocence and determination to 'seek his treasure'. I am surprised at myself for taking so many years to pick up this book. It has been on my bookshelf for years and I wish that I read it when I first got it. |

A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
Yes, this book was embellished, dressed up to sensationalize some otherwise boring events in a rehab, but if you can get over that, it's not a bad read at all. James is very descriptive, imaginative and has an eye for detail. I think he has a lot of promise as a writer and just needs to master the art of punctuation.. would be nice if he could do that. |

Shark Trouble by Peter Benchley (yes, he of "Jaws" fame)
This book is very well written but again I find that the author has a need for jargon and words that are way too complicated for what he was trying to portray in this book. I do agree with the critics though who suggest that anyone who is potentially ever going to venture into the sea again must read this book first. Peter obviously had huge love and respect for the ocean and all of her beloved mysteries. I find though when he gets into story telling mode, he's far less complicated than when he's writing non fiction. All in all, a good writer with vast knowledge about the topic that he chose to devote his writing talents to. R.I.P. Mr Benchley and I hope you're having the time of your life in that big ocean in the sky. |
