Though theres lots to read online, I still like to hold a book in my hand, we have a thread about videos, I thought we could have one on books that have given us knowledge about Spirituality.

Re: Books
It's a nice idea for a new ongoing thread, Curious, but (imo) one that I think would really be more at home on the Light After Life forum - for instance, it would slot in nicely somewhere in one of the sub-forums in this section:
http://lightafterlife.freeforums.org/paranormal-experiences-research-f9.html
Something more general here (Krazy Kats) under the subject of Books might be more approachable - like {What book(s) are you reading now / have you read / recommend ? ...} or something along similar lines.

Re: Books
I'm devouring all the books by Arnaldur Indridason that I can, even those I read before in the past.
Info here: http://www.crimefictionlover.com/2014/01/a-guide-to-arnaldur-indridasons-detective-erlendur/
There are still some I've not been able to get hold of yet. What can be annoying is to discover I'm reading one that was published before the last one I read, so it's a bit like going backwards.
Great author - recommended to anyone who likes crime novels.

I do enjoy a good mystery/crime read, but up until reading Stardust's post had never heard of Arnaldur Indridason. Thanks for the link Stardust. Looks interesting. I'll keep a lookout for the author in future, though unlike Curious (nice to 'meet' you BTW Curious ) IMO Kindle is the best thing to happen since sliced bread. I'm continuously on the move with my work and often find myself stranded in some distant place, far away from civilization where a person would be hard done by to find a loaf of sliced bread, let alone a decent read. For practical reasons I also have to travel light, and so wherever I find myself I can carry hundreds of books with me available to read at a click.

Re: Books
Intriguing, Jamboree... are you Bear Grylls?
The basic characters recur in the Erlendur books by Arnaldur Indridason, so if you want to follow their ongoing story it's best to read in the correct order (which I didn't). I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as I do. Happy reading.

Re: Books
At present I am currently onto the second book of the Divergent Trilogy! Insurgent!
I started reading this the day of my Laparoscopy last August! Then after the aftermath of my operation I couldn't read anything. I've posted about it in the health section of the forum (That's if you wish to read! Don't have too, but it's there!)

Exactly. And I can even relate some of the characters now to people I know or have known in my life!
Paints a whole new picture for me.

Re: Books
I used to think that way, Stardust, but I do my reading when I go to bed so find some books too heavy.I like my Kindle.I've been reading about The Romanovs, Queen Victoria and her issue---all of them---and am still finding new ones.I'm waiting for two books to be published, the third one of Robert Goddard's trilogy and Sue Grafton's private detective novel, "X" in her alphabet series. I love mysteries but often find that what I order turns out to be a vicious, bloodthirsty and graphically violent crime novel. Younger writers seem to be obsessed with gore. At the moment I'm reading about Marina, Duchess of Kent, who was widowed young when her husband, the then Duke of Kent died in a plane crash near Berriedale in the north of Scotland during WW2. There is still a bit of a mystery surrounding that crash.

Re: Books
I'm not so much into the serious subjects, though the one about Marina, Duchess of Kent, sounds interesting.
I prefer crime novels and the Scandinavian ones are not so full of gore.
I love Sue Grafton's alphabet series too and I've read many, but far from having them all. I just looked to see if I have X but I can't find where I put that series (it's full of books all over the place here).
I just finished "The Gift of Darkness" by Valentina Giambanco.
You can read a free exclusive ebook-only standalone preview to The Gift of Darkness, a perfect introduction to the critically acclaimed Detective Alice Madison series, which you can download onto your Kindle, Feather.

I wanted to post this on LAL in the NDE thread but I can't get in there this morning so I'll put it here instead.
This isn't a new book, it's 5 years old so maybe it's already been mentioned elsewhere here. I came across an old Newsweek article about it:
http://europe.newsweek.com/proof-heaven-doctors-experience-afterlife-65327?rm=eu
Short pitch: When a neurosurgeon found himself in a coma, he experienced things he never thought possible - a journey to the Afterlife.

Hi Stardust
There is already a piece on Dr Eben Alexander and his book about his experiences on LAL.
You can read about it here http://lightafterlife.freeforums.org/proof-of-heaven-dr-eben-alexander-t941.html
ETA: Hmm - seems all the FreeForums are experiencing problems again today. Was slow loading for me, though I could get in - eventually. Just had a look at the Support Forum. Few reports there this morning:
Response is terrible again on both my board and this support site.
My board is experiencing incomplete page loads.
About 3 1/2 hours ago both my site and this support site were totally gone.
Posting this was a real challenge as well.
When I try to reach my forum's board index, or any post, I get the following general error. I'm logged in. Oddly, the "View Active Topics" page loads okay, but most of the forum fails, including the portal page.
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
and some others in the same vein.
And the Isitdownrightnow site shows this message:
Freeforums.org is DOWN for everyone.
It is not just you. The server is not responding...

Re: Books
Thanks for the info Kitkat.
When I read the piece in the 2012 Newsweek I thought I'd already seen it somewhere but couldn't find it here and, obviously, couldn't get into LAL to check there. Thanks for the link, I'll look it up once the site is up and running again.
For myself, I find Alexander's description unappealing, so I wanted feedback. Hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for in your link on LAL.
Thanks again.

A Man Called Ove
Currently reading 'A Man Called Ove' - novel by Swedish author, Fredrik Backman.
I had already read another book by Fredrik Backman, 'Britt-Marie Was Here' (recommended to me by bimbow) and enjoyed it so much that I had to search out Fredrik Backman's other books.
Enjoying 'A Man Called Ove' so much, that I'm going to see the film on Monday.
(Movie released in UK cinemas yesterday: https://inews.co.uk/essentials/culture/film/a-man-called-ove-review/ ).
Ove is the quintessential angry old man next door. An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse, who spends his days enforcing block association rules that only he cares about, and visiting his wife's grave, Ove has given up on life. After a boisterous young family moves in next door and accidentally flattens Ove's mailbox, an unlikely friendship forms.

Go to the library for books on how to embroider.
That was how I started after a few years I changed to counted cross stitch. The reason was I found cross stitch more versatile and it has developed over the years.

Re: Books
I'm still a big fan of "traditional" books although I have read a few ebooks recently on my phone. I just like the feeling of them in my hands and actually turning the page. I'm currently reading The Handmaid's Tale and it's great so far. If you're into dystopian themes, you should check that one out. It's a classic imo

Psychic Barber Gordon Smith
Thanks to Kitkat on LAL and the "Psychic News" thread with their March 2018 cover (Animal magic with medium Gordon Smith) I was looking him up here but couldn't find anything (?!).
So I looked up a list of his books on Amazon, here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gordon-Smith/e/B001K8ZDSK
I've been out of the loop too long, I didn't know he'd written books with animals. A trip to WHS asap is definitely on my agenda.

Someone asked me recently would I not consider amalgamating the two forums (KKs and LAL) into one single forum, with membership covering all at registration. Practically, it could be done but I think by doing so the main purpose and character of both would be lost. They are two very different forums, each with its own purpose.
As it is, each one is instantly accessed through the other - literally just a click away, without leaving the forum that you are in - the only difference being that separate membership and login is required for anyone wishing to join in the posting on either one.
