No, why should it? The title does state books, without adding anything else, like fictional.
 
I recommend this book to all parents, teachers and anyone else who works with or comes into contact with children.

Toxic Childhood.

The first two books in the trillogy by Jennifer Donnelly is rather good. The Tea Rose and The Winter Rose. I'm waiting for the third to come out... The Wild Rose.

Which is the first one? I just bought the winter rose, I didn't know it was part of a series.
 
the tipping point by Malcolm Gladwell, I highly recommend it, he makes very deep insights.

:sl: Mashallah! your a very fast reader! I was wondering did you get this fast by reading or using software on how to speed read? I myself wanted to try a book on speed reading, but it takes a lot of time and effort to become a speed reader, and at the moment I'm a fast enough reader so my reading speed doesn't bother me to much. I loved Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451. I really should read it again. Hey check out this report on the state of reading in America. http://arts.endow.gov/research/ToRead_ExecSum.pdf If you want the full report just ask me and I'll post up the link. :w:

I did take several speed reading courses, but all were in pre computer days. There are now several software courses that seem to be very good. The key is in learning to read a sentence as if it were a single word. Not as hard as it sounds. Remember as you now read you read words and not individual letters, the same can be applied to entire sentences and eventually to entire pages. Not anything magic or extraordinary, just takes a good teacher or good software.
 
I really like the book A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and I also really like the book Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky, of whom I'm reading a book called Crime and Punishment as well. :coolious:

I really liked that too. But I wish it had been made clear what was Islam, what was culture, and what was patriarchal interpretation

I haven't read it, but I should. I've seen the movie of it, which I really really liked! :D I can't wait until Khaled's next book comes out.
 
I started reading Kite Runner but it was very. . . crude, at the beginning. It really put me off to be honest
 
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????

You HATE it?!?!?!?!?!

Excuse my freak out but that's a classic in every sense of the word! I've read and watched it more times than I can count!

What's there to hate?

It's dull.
Perhaps I hate it because I have to read it.
