Finding Readers
An update on “What Three Books”
Regular readers may recall that I recently posted an article suggesting Medium bibliophiles might post their favourite three books, as a way of getting to know them.
The concept is based around the “What Three Words” app, which helps locate someone anywhere in the world, and the premise that knowing which books have influenced us most, gives a similar insight into fellow Medium members. The original article is on this link if you missed it:
So this update is just to set out the list so far. To see more about why the books were chosen, please refer to the comments in the original article. Not many lists so far: I gather that some fellow bibliophiles are struggling to narrow it down to three, which suggests that some may be all over the place like myself, and probably need to slim down their book collection as much as I do!
What is interesting about the titles provided so far, is that to date no one has suggested the same book, which perhaps goes to show how unique we all are, yet linked by a love of reading.
“Becoming Supernatural” by Joe Dispenza.
“Learning to Breathe” by Alison Wright.
“Beneath A Scarlet Sky” by Mark Sullivan,
“Time Enough for Love” by Robert A Heinlein. “The Seven Daughters of Eve” by Bryan Sykes “F**k, Yes!: A Guide to the Happy Acceptance of Everything” by Wing F. Fing
“The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne.
“Atomic Habits” by James Clear.
“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” by Mark Manson.
“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl
“Catch-22” by Joseph Heller.
“Connections” by James Burke.
So now we know where to find these fellow members of Medium. If you have yet to send in your three books, do add them in the comments!
As always, thank you for reading, and enjoy your day.
