Who doesn’t want to know how to become a money magnet?

Times have been tough for many over the past year or so and, although the financial crisis or ‘credit crunch’ recession is abating, its effects are predicted to be felt for many years to come, according to City analysts and economists, as per recent press reports and media interviews. No surprise then, that virtually everyone is thinking about their personal finances.

Focusing on the more positive pleasures in life isn’t always easy when everything you read, hear or see on a daily basis, is focused on the negative sides to the recession, or indeed when you are feeling the pinch in your own pocket. It was therefore refreshing to read How to become a Money Magnet, written by a friend of mine, Marie Claire Carlyle.

“Selden paused in surprise. In the afternoon rush of the Grand Central Station, his eyes had been refreshed by the sight of Miss Lily Bart.” With these words Edith Wharton begins Lily and Selden’s tale of woe. Since 1905, the year of publication of The House of Mirth, this tale has been the true depiction of the plight of the 19th century American women: branded a lesser gender, financially dependent, and socially victimized.

Betty Friedan’s Feminine Mystique started it all with her clarion call to identify “the problem that had no name.” The problem still has no name, but the solution does: a feminism that labors for more equality and more representation. This is nothing new; one can recall Chaucer’s moral satire “Wife of Bath.” In that tale, the Queen commutes a knight’s death penalty if he can find out (in one year) what…

Do you find yourself wanting to join a book club but unable to find one close to your home? That doesn’t need to be a problem anymore, there are now many book clubs online and you can find one that suits your own particular interests and reading style.

As a young man of about 17 Marcus is a computer guru to many of his peers. Writer Doctorow goes to some lengths to demonstrate Marcus’ ability to thwart the governmental security measures at his high school.

This is a future where students are tracked within the school at all times by their very movements. All people in fact must have special cards that are used by the DHS to know the whereabouts of each individual in the city of San Francisco. There are agents that arrest the various people who are ‘suspicious’. So this is a future where life in America has become untenable. Interestingly Mr. Doctorow calls this a ‘teenage novel’, I didn’t know that Little Brother was…

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read. -Mark Twain

Do you read? I bet you do. I do too. But do you have to struggle to read or you find it easy to keep up with today’s best-sellers that come into the market one after another?

Have you ever been in situations where you find yourself getting bored of reading because it took you so long to finish a book that you can’t wait to switch to another books with new themes and ideas?

True, some people do have the skills to speed read that they can finish reading a book within a few hours (and are still able to grasp the whole idea of the book like sponge absorbing water!) but as for me unfortunately, reading a book can take hours, weeks and sometimes months!

It is a widely known fact that knowledge equal…
