Download Books for Living AudioBook Free
From the author of the cherished New York Times best-selling The End you will ever have Book Club, an inspiring and marvelous exploration of the power of books to form our lives in an era of frequent connectivity. Why is it that people read? Is it to go away time? To understand something new? To escape from reality? For Will Schwalbe, reading is ways to amuse himself but also to seem sensible of the world, to be a much better person, and also to find the answers to the big (and small) questions about how exactly to reside his life. With this delightful party of reading, Schwalbe invites us along on his search for books that speak to the specific issues of moving into our modern world, with all its noises and interruptions. In each section he discusses a specific publication - what helped bring him to it (or vice versa), folks in his life he affiliates with it, and exactly how it became a part of his knowledge of himself on the globe. These books course centuries and styles (from classic works of adult and children's books to modern thrillers and even cookbooks), and each one pertains to the questions and concerns most of us show. Throughout, Schwalbe focuses on the way certain books can help us honor those we've adored and lost and work out how to live every day more fully. Abundant with tales and tips, Literature for Living is a treasure for everyone who loves books and loves to hear the response to the question "what exactly are you reading?"
