I enjoy fiction and non-fiction, particularly books on leadership, business, self-help, psychology, sociology, social trends, history, and neurology. Books made into movies are a...more »

    Thank you for those recommendations. When one finds that they are not alone in their experiences, it's such a healing thing. May stop at Barnes & Noble today. :)

    Hi Pensive, I have been reading the book, Coping With Trauma Hope Through Understanding that I found on your bookshelf. To me, it seems to be an execellent resource material to anyone who has experienced trauma. The author has certainly done an amazing amount of research. Just wanted to say thank you for listing it. Take care.

    Hi Pensive. I love to read memoirs, for the same reasons you state. I enjoy the process of life, and learning and how people overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

    I'd recommend GOD GREW TIRED OF US by John Bul Dau, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan who is making a new home in the United states. His story is amazing!

    Peace.
