Reading a new book to me is like tasting a new dish! Smelling the pages of a new book is so exciting and exhilarating, it’s like Christmas all over again. I’ve forgotten my love affair of reading when I pushed myself into a career a few years back and forgot balancing nourishing my spiritual soul. This year, I’m glad I was able to rekindle my love for reading.

I started this year with an easy fiction book, re-read Sophie Kinsella’s An Undomestic Goddess, then I moved on to the Twilight Saga and now I’ve read “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari”. I love books which are easy to read but makes quite a lot of sense. There are times, too that I just love reading fiction books because you get lost in the drama and I guess, in a way, an escape to all the worries in the world.

Some of my favorite books:
- Come Be My Light - The Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta
- Tuesdays with Morrie
- The Alchemist
- Who Moved my Cheese
- Pride and Prejudice
- Bo Sanchez’s “Thank God He’s Boss” and “How to Turn Thoughts Into Things”
- Emily Dickinson’s Poems (a gift from one of my best friends)
- Johanna Lindsey’s Malory Novels
- The Bible, especially the Psalms
- Anne of Green Gables
- Sophie Kinsella’s “Can you Keep a Secret?”
- Chick lits like Shopaholic series and The Devil Wears Prada
- Robyn Sisman’s “Just Friends”

And next on my reading list:
- Mitch Albom’s books
- Dan Brown’s ‘The Lost Symbol’
- Winning by Jack Welch

Any other suggestions?
