I love to read. I believe that reading is one of the easiest ways to keep your right brain alert, highly active and stimulated. Reading allows our imaginations to soar. The following is the list of books I've read for pleasure. This list doesn't show the books I've read for personal growth, spiritual study or other forms of study. Just the ones I felt like reading in order to stretch my imagination.
Keeping me in new books would cost a fortune so I've come up with some low-cost ways of feeding my reading habit. One great resource is my local library. I can get used paperbacks there for 4 for $1. And it helps support the library too. Another way to feed my habit is through paperbackswap.com This is the best of the used book swap sites on the net & I highly recommend checking them out!
