I'd highly recommend Animal Farm by George Orwell.
Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson. Jim Corbett. Man's Search for Meaning
by Viktor Frankl for now. Reading the best experience for mankind...cheers :)
About a week ago I finished reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. There are lots of metaphors in it, it was a great read. I have the illustrated book, so there were drawings in it too!
I'm glad to hear that you finished it. "Animal Farm" is indeed a remarkable work.
If you ever come across any books like it, do let me know.
Keep reading... All the best!
Note: I'm working on an app for readers like you. If you are interested, we might talk about it someday.
I read lots of books, mostly ones that are related to self-improvement.
I am interested for sure. I would like to look at your app, or at least the idea.
Reading self-help books in the early stages of life is the best use of your time.
Never quit reading...
Though it is just a draft of my idea, feel free to play with (https://pagexpress.vercel.app)
and let me know your thoughts whenever you can.
Wow! That is a long list. Thanks for sharing. In my free time I will definitely read some stories.
Animal Farm is great if I've read parts of it. I heard about Who Moved My Cheese.
