Like The Flowing River

A very nice book, with several short stories, and priceless wisdoms.

Men Are From Mars,Women Are From Venus

Title: Men Are From Mars,Women Are From Venus
Author: John Gray
Number of pages: 307

Some Men think women are extra emotional,while some women think men are insensitive! Sometimes we don't understand the opposite sex and find a big difficulty to comprehend the reasons behind their certain actions.This book gives a better understanding to the opposite sex, and opens the reader's eyes to many things he never ever thought about. Believe me, this book is a huge problem solver and preventer between couples, because most of the problems that occur between any two, are because of lacking the awareness about the opposite sex's nature.

The Host

Title: The Host
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Number of pages: 619

Another love triangle of Stephenie Meyer's creation! Except this time it's only between two bodies.
The Host is a science fiction/romance novel that introduces a new non-violent alien race that wants to take over Planet Earth.While the aliens are extinguishing the human species,Melanie Stryder refuses to surrender her exsistance to Wanderer the 'soul'.
Living in Melanie's body, Wanderer is unable to seperate herself from her host's desires, and ends up searching for the man they both love: Jared.(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

Further comments:
This novel isn't the regular type of alien stories.At the beginning you might feel that it's all about aliens but, afterwards the romance joins in. All I can say is that Stephenie Meyer's imagination is one of a kind!

Jane Eyre

Tile: Jane Eyre
Author: Charlotte Brontë
Number of pages: 447

I'll leave you with the Wikipedia Plot summary :
Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. The novel goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead, where she is emotionally abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Manor, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh's End (or Moor House) and Morton, where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester.

Further comments:
Unfortunately, The Jane Eyre novel remains in my bookshelf untouched! Why? because I broke one of my important reading rules, which is not to watch a movie that is already a book before reading the book itself.Otherwise, the story is extremely touching and influential.

Further comments:
This is is one of the novels that I don't really like.
I watched the movie while I was still reading it and the movie wasn't that good, so that idea got stuck in my mind, and I ended up not liking the book.

Important reading rule :
Never ever watch a movie that's been inspired from a novel before reading the novel itself!
