What book did you last read?

Yet again I tried to search the forum to see if this kinda thread had been done before. I couldn't find anything.

So yeah the title is pretty self-explanatory, but I'll say it still. So yeah after I started on this PMO journey (yes it has turned out to be all those three letters even though it says porn on my counter) I started to read more books. Mostly because I wanted to read more. Push myself to do that. If I don't I probably will just alternate between tv-shows and video-games and in the long run I don't see that as good for me. So I wanted to read more. So I set a goal for reading half an hour every day. I haven't gotten to uphold that quite yet, but I am reading 3-4 days of of seven, so I am thinking that's quite good.

So yeah, what book did you last read and what did you think about it?

I just finnished readin American Gods by Neil Gaiman. My main reasoning for reading it was because I was gonna watch the tv-show. I watched the first season while reading the book. I liked the show, but I gotta say I liked the book more. It was more detailed, duh, and I got to know the characters more intimately. It also made me want to read more of Neil Gaiman. Any suggestions of his while we're at it?

I really liked Shadow in the book and also in the show. But I did like him more in the book and his story. I am not gonna say too much about the plot since it's gonna be heavy on spoilers. I am just gonna say that I like Gaimans writing style, how he does dialogue and how he presents his characters. And the book isn't quite different from the show, but I do like the atmosphere here more. Even though the show pretty much nailed that as well. There are some differences from book to show that I liked and some I didn't. Gonna stop comparing the two of them now, because that is doing a disservice to the thread. I also liked all the interludes in between the main story. Not gonna say much more afeared that I might dip into spoiler territory.

Now your turn

 

All The Way: My Life on Ice - Jordin Tootoo
For those who don't know who he is he was the first Nunavut hockey player in the NHL and he struggled with alcoholism and what really motivated me about his book is that he could get wasted the night before and still perform at a high level in the toughest league in hockey. He's been through a lot of tragedies in his life and one day he became sober. It reminds me of my struggle with noFap where pornography has consumed me for the last 15 years and I didn't knowledge it as a serious problem until 75 days ago. If he can get sober than I can conquer porn addiction.

 

Recently read The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. It's an incredible book and one that has encouraged me to start the process of re-wiring my life out of PMO. Highly recommended.

 

Thanks for recommendation . I will definitely check that out!

 

I haven't read that one either even though I probably should. Also Frankenstein, but time will come when I've finally started reading again

 

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. The third book in this series just came out and I'm re-reading to get refreshed before I dive into the new one.

 

Lord of the Rings, Silver Linings Playbook, The Perk of being a Wallflower, the two first books in the Throne of Glass fantasy series, Brooklyn and I am guessing some more books.

Next up is Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas, Still Alice by Lisa Ginova and See me by Nicholas Sparks.
