and bought two books that have been recommended by JWD posters:
"How to Read a Book" by Mortimer J. Adler & Charles Van Doren
"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle
What are the last two books you bought? Do you ever go in search of a book other than CoC that somebody recommends from this forum? What are you reading now?

I'm doing a re-read of this at the moment... there are always so many subtleties you pick up upon rereading Rowlings books.

I liked it so much that I gave a copy to my JW mother. She never mentioned it.
