Mine is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, and I've kept it a tradition to read the book every year during Christmas time. It's a book that puts a lot of things into perspective for me, to avoid complacency when things seem to be going well, to know that suffering exists in this world and that many are going through struggle outside of our view, and to search within ourselves during our own moments of struggle to find strength to keep going. There are also interesting stories on man's capacity for great good and unimaginable cruelty, the environmental factors that affect such behavior, and the capacity to overcome the environment to maintain some humanity.

I loveee this book, this year I re-read it for the third time, it was the core foundation of my belief that true unhappiness (Ie: Meaningless Suffering.) Is always changeable, not mattering how bad your circumstances are. And logotherapy, in my opinion, is thousand years ahead of traditional drug inducing, mental health procedures we have today. But still, my most important book is the code of the extraordinary mind, it's the most precise cristalization of my personality I ever found in a book, and while reading it for the first time when I was 17 years old, I defined for the first time my Raison D'etre.

Why do i love you?

I don't know. Maybe it's the way your eyes light up the whole room when someone you care about walks in. Or maybe it's because you make me laugh like crazy. Or just the fact that when I have even the slightest thought about you, I have the biggest, stupidest, smile on my face. Honestly, I don't... read more

Hi all... I finished reading "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo", recommended by friends, and, as a great lover of good stories, I have to say how much this one impressed me, and a lot. The truth is that the title of the book is just that, a title, because the story itself is Evelyn's, the husbands... read more
