52 Books in 52 Weeks (2012) discussion

"In this thread, everyone will post their reviews/opinions of the book they have read this week AFTER you rate/review it on your page. The purpose of this is so everyone can see what you read this week and read your review without having to visit each profile. Some of you have their profiles locked, so this saves you the trouble of unlocking it.

ANY COMMENTS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO THAT MATTER WILL BE DELETED.

The format will be like this:

Name of book.
Author.
n/5 stars.

"Your simple opinion/extended review/one word that expresses what you thought of the book. GO CRAZY! Anything counts. Don't feel pressured."

Link to your review.

Also, this allows us to be organized, so even if a member didn't log in for about a month, they can add the book they've read to the appropriate thread.

THANK YOU ALL!


EDIT:
As I've mentioned in the guidelines, one word or a simple opinion counts as a 'review'. I only called it that because Goodreads calls it that."


Now let's see your achievements, awesome people.

عصفور من الشرق
توفيق الحكيم
4/5 stars



لم أعتد قراءة قصص الحب، وأمل منها سريعًا لكن توفيق الحكيم لا يكتب فقط عن الحب، بل يكتب عن الحب والروح والترابط والإيمان والخيال.

أقل من مئتا صفحة كانت متعة سريعة لقصر الكتاب وجماله، اللغة الجميلة الرزينة السلسة التي تمتع القرّاء ممزوجةً مع الأفكار التي سطرها الكتاب بدون تلميح.

النقاش الأخير في الكتاب كان جميلًا جدًّا وقويًّا، والعجيب أن الرواية من عام 1938 ونحن مازلنا كما وصفنا توفيق. الله يغير الحال.

The Fault in our star

Rating: ★★★★
Review: here

Note: this book is not released yet but I got it as an Advanced Review Copy

≈ This was such a nice book. It's the first financial book I've tried but I kind of got curious after I read the synopsis. So, I decided to give it a chance.

Fortunately, it was so worth it. This book offered such methodical rational and logical way of dealing with money issues. I liked his approach to the Money Mind. It simplified how we make decisions about money and that what we use money for can be the cause of our dilemma.

It was a really nice and quick read. ≈
