I think it’s only fair that I give free publicity to my favorite books of all time. Maybe that will bring me luck in selling my eBook which is only $5. If not, at least it may bring someone to take the wonderful habit of reading. Not mentioned: Chuck Palhaniuk, just because I own everything he has written and it’s hard to select a favorite.

There is no particular order but these are my top 10:
- The Rage and The Pride, by Oriana Fallaci
- Before the Legend, The Rise of Bob Marley by Christopher John Farley
- The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint Exupery
- A New Earth, by Eckhard Tolle
- Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
- The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger
- The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra
- Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
- All Marketers are Liars by Seth Godin
- Blink by Malcolm Gladwell

So, there you have it. It was very hard to select only ten because there are at least 5 more that should be on that list, but, I did it. I hope you enjoy reading.

Making other people happy is, I think, the best feeling. So obviously I want to be bathed by that sensation all the time. Because of simple pleasure, I crave to see my friends smiling and achieving their goals, I aim to learn about strangers who do well, who beat the odds, who survive the unexpected; and those who make a difference.
I get such a high from their success in whatever it is they experience; a safe pregnancy, a promotion, a home run, a happy divorce, a new pet…
Right now I’m reading a book by Elizabeth Gilbert called: EAT PRAY LOVE and it’s simply delicious, spiritually lovely and so funny. I’m sure she doesn’t need the promotion because she’s a BEST SELLER author, but I think many women should read this book; moreover if you are stuck in a dead-end relationship. DON’T BE AFRAID!
Another thing is, this passionate author talked at www.ted.com and this is when I first learned about her; it captured my attention, heart, soul in such a way that I bought the book. So, the best thing when you feel down, when you think you’re not getting where you want to: achieving your dreams for example… is to watch her talk, here:

So, my dear stranger, my unknown admirer, my web-pal, my antithesis, my friend…. Make me happy by being happy…. ALL you have to do is SHOW UP. Good luck to you. ONE LOVE
