This morning, we've had three suggestions from our patrons:
David recommends this Manga book as an "interesting"one!
Another patron has suggested two books, which she describes as "very entertaining and very inspiring":
Autobiography of a Yogi (B-YOGANANDA) Throughout the decades, one title that continues to appear on best-seller lists is Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. This timeless book remains a seminal work in the field of Eastern religion -- the definitive introduction to the science and philosophy of yoga meditation that draws more readers with each passing year.
The Education of Little Tree (B-CARTER) tells of a boy orphaned very young, who is adopted by his Cherokee grandmother and half-Cherokee grandfather in the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee during the Great Depression. Little Tree, as his grandparents call him is shown how to hunt and survive in the mountains, to respect nature in the Cherokee Way, taking only what is needed, leaving the rest for nature to run its course. Little Tree also learns the often callous ways of white businessmen and tax collectors, and how Granpa, in hilarious vignettes, scares them away from his illegal attempts to enter the cash economy. Granma teaches Little Tree the joys of reading and education. But when Little Tree is taken away by whites for schooling, we learn of Little Tree's perception of the Anglo world and how it differs from the Cherokee Way.
Great suggestions! Thanks to all who supply these recommendations for all of us! Everyone can comment on these titles below in the Comments section.
Happy Reading!
