I don't hate books per say I just don't read much. When I do, its not fiction (can't stand fiction). Its usually autobiographies or history.

I like everything from Ibn Qayyim ,,,, he is just a legend and talented writer.

 

I is better you read the Zad al-Ma'ad itself instead of the Mukhtasar .....

I just finished reading the Kite runner by Khaled Hosseini (a fiction book). I was vacationing in the cold of Midwest last week(Wish I stayed in the sunny South ). It is a good book about friendship, loyalty, guilt, shame, repentance, and tyrannical persecution in Afghanistan. The book had an emotional power that takes you deep into what Afghanistan has been from the Russian invasion to life of Afghanis as a refugee in the American soil. The book spilled me into a hailstorm of how human beings are capable of being good when they have wronged fellow human.A good read.I recommend it.

Movies are never as good as the books

[Jacaylbaro]

Never say never, saaxib. Check out Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mocking Bird. The movie, in my opinion, surpasses the book (and the book is a classic).

^So is Gone With The Wind...

 

Books are good, Norf, but the good thing with movies is that you get the story in just 1 to 3 hours.

[Malika]

^With books you creat your own movie with your own images of how you have interpreted the contexts and contects of the book..Where in a movie its the interpretation of the producer[movie maker]..

 

Give me a book anytime,and my thoughts wonder through the amazing world of imagination.

 

Jac,I read the day of the jackal as a teenager and I grew to have a special fascination with Carlos the jackal.
