note: and mexico is not so 3rd world!! there are countries with even less oportunities...
I agree with Tega. Living in a third world country really closes a lot of opportunities. I'm from Mexico and while I was there all the books I read where mine. Bought by my mom every time she could. But honestly, books are expensive and are not a necesity (I mean like food, if you don't read, you won't die) so I used to read twice or three times every book because of lack of them. Now I live in Europe for a while and here I have the most incredible library. It has so much books... In 10 months I've read the same quantity (or almost) of books than what I read in the past and it's wonderful. Sadly I go back to Mexico and the number of books I will read in a year, will be probably the same as here in a month... anyway, keep reading and long live to books (haha, that sounds so stupid :P)
Where do you live Tega? I lived in Korea (by no means a third world country) for a couple of years and found it somewhat frustating being limited in what I could read in English. I ended up learning Korean and buying/reading a lot of Korean childrens' books to fill part of the need to read. I also read more childrens' books in English than adults as they were more widely available.
hi sally its sooo good to see someone that enjoys readind like you.but am not oppoturned like you to get books to read cus i live in a third world country and ct get books wish i cod get from you
Sally it's lovely to see someone who is enjoying all sorts of books. I like the other commenters on here agree that someone who goes on about reading really deep and meaningfull books, that take all your thought to get past the first page sometimes dont realise how small minded they really are. I've read all sorts of books, but my real love is romantic comedy novels it doesn't mean I am any less of a reader than anyone else. I just love them and you should follow your loves!!
Am sure to keep looking at your reviews and hopefully have a go at some of the books you recommend!
Happy Reading!! x

Interesting enough but couldn't manage to get into it enough to finish and had already renewed it multiple times at the library. Was induced by guilt to sneak it back in the late night chute.
Everyone should read this book. A powerful testament to one man's choice to be there with those who are in situations that cause governments to issue travel warnings. Brother Andrew is an extraordinary mission is now to encourage the local church in the middle east specifically Lebanon and Israel and Palestinian Territories. He offers thought provoking insight into why it is not as easy as our news sometimes makes it. A must read especially if you also read Elias Chacour's Blood Brothers. We do not hear enough about the Palestinian Church - indeed we are often shocked to hear that it exists. Also recommended is Br Andrew's previous book God's Smuggler about his time smuggling bibles behind the Communist curtain.
I finished Purpose Driven Life and kept the habit of one chapter a day by moving on to Max Lucado. Not anything too startling but a refreshing read. I am now on to The Jesus I Never New. These are all books I have started and abandoned at various points. For me reading a chapter in the 30 minutes before getting up is working really well as a starter for the day - a kind of spiritual exercise. I am keen to read more by Lucado.
Interesting look at the power of belief and how it affects what you attribute good and bad events too. I like Bettina Krahn's style. Not one of her best but better than many others.
A definite family favourite - we used to read it all the time.
I am a fan of this series, each works on it's own but I really like her characters and the philosophy behind it. I want more so I can find out about the developing relationship between Charlotte and "Cousin" Michael which runs as a thread through all of the books in this series.
