Chicken Soup for the Soul are my standard go to easy/take your time read. I really enjoy that I can read the stories at my own pace. I never feel like I'm in a rush since there are not really chapters to finish. There are always great stories in each book that give you unique outlooks on other peoples lives, and make you appreciate what you have in yours. I will forever be a Chicken Soup for the Soul fan, keep them coming!!

August 9, 2014Evet, dünya böyle bir yerdi, hızlıydı, gerçekten hız en yaygın uyuşturucuydu. Haklıydı o adam... Hız tutkusundan insanlar birbirini göremez oldu. Konuşamaz oldu. Bu kötü gidiş onları rahatsız etmedi, müdahale etmediler, çünkü nasılsa onlar dünyayı monitörlerden takip ediyordu... Kitap okumaya zamanları da yoktu. Ben buldum, okudum.

I always love to read the inspirational stories of people overcoming enormous obstacles, or demonstrating boundless love and generosity. It puts your own problems into perspective.
