Books I’ve Read - Updated!

I like to keep track of what I’ve read and when I’ve read it.

I'm a huge dork, I know.

I enjoy being organized and I find that keeping a list of books I've read helps me to remember what I’ve read.

I posted the books I read in 2007 and 2008 earlier this month, but I've cleaned them up now (organized the books by month within each page) and I've updated the list to include the books I read in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

And of course you can always click the Favorite Books tab to read what books I LOVE!

If you like a lot of the books I've read, I'd love to hear your recommendations!

And if you have questions about any of the books I've read, let me know!

I'm always happy to chat about reading.

A New Earth: awakening to your life's purpose by Eckhart Tolle

A New Earth and so far it all seems very familiar.

I mentioned earlier today that Tolle synthesizes ideas from Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Daoism, and other spiritual traditions in A New Earth. I think this book seems very familiar because I've read many books about Buddhism and several about practicing Buddhism such as:

• Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh 03/26/2004
• Music in the Sky : the life, art & teachings of the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje by Michele Martin 10/11/2003
• Anger by Thich Nhat Hanh 12/30/2003
• The Monk & the Philosopher: father & son discuss the meaning of life by Jean-Francois Revel & Matthieu Ricard (forward by miles) 06/18/2004
• The Best Buddhist Writing 2005 by Melvin McLeod 02/27/2006
• Inner Revolution: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Real Happiness by Robert A. F. Thurman 01/24/2007

He also makes me think of some of Deepak Chopra's books:

• The Path to Love: spiritual strategies for healing 01/02/2005
• The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: a practical guide to the fulfillment of your dreams 10/07/2007
• How to Know God: the soul's journey into the mystery of mysteries 10/07/2007

And of these uplifting books:

• Ishmael by Daniel Quinn (winner of the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award in 1991)
• The Story of B by Daniel Quinn
• My Ishamel by Daniel Quinn
• The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield
• The Art of Possibility: transforming professional & personal life by Rosamund Stone Zander & Benjamin Zander 01/05/2005

So far, I think A New Earth is a good book for those who are frustrated with established religion and looking for spirituality and meaning in life.
