The Books I read can be broadly classified into 5 categories:
1. Islamic
2. Inspirational / Self help / Self improvement / Depression (This also contains Biographies
3. Philosophy - I think they fall under #1
4. Technical (Compter Science, Programming, Math, Cooking)
5. Psychology
6. Literature (Classics, Pulp)
Oh wait, That's 6! Not cause 1 and 3 are different, but because I haven't really read a Psychology book that wasn't driven out of self-improvement, never really read a technical one. But I have bought one, and I will read it next.

Review: The Sun Also Rises
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest HemingwayMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The description of the book on its back cover is the best review I could write about it.
He shows how fickle yet strong relationships can be, how superficial, yet deep-rooted.
It could help one lose some baggage if one wants to lose some.

Review: The BFG
The BFG by Roald DahlMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I like this book, it's a very heart warming, sweet, pleasant book.
It's written for kids, but I loved it as an adult. Dahl thinks of himself as the BFG, opening up little Sophie's mind to great new ideas, criticizing humans for being the only species to kill their own, challenging humans' self centered world-view "You humans think you're so clever, only believing in what you see. Till yesterday you didn't even believe Giants existed."
I highly recommend this book to kids. If you wanna teach your read vocabulary and ideas, give them all sorts of books to read. But if you wanna teach them _how to learn_ vocabulary and ideas, give them this book!
