salma (London)

I enjoy reading non-fiction books, particularly those related to self-improvement, productivity, and understanding human behavior. Some of my favorites include The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and Everybody Lies by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz. I also appreciate books that explore science and psychology, like How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan and The Ape that Understood the Universe by Steve Stewart-Williams. Additionally, I enjoy books on societal issues, such as What's Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies, and practical guides like How to Break Up with Your Phone: The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life. I’m also drawn to books that explore capitalism and its impact on society, economy, and individual lives. I enjoy reading about how capitalist systems function, their influence on culture, and their ethical implications. Books that provide insights into these topics help me understand the complex dynamics of economic systems and the way they shape modern life.

what you are looking for is in the library

by Michiko Aoyama | Learn more and buy

A heartwarming and wholesome novel that follows the lives of five visitors to a library in Tokyo, each of whom is profoundly impacted by their encounter with Sayuri Komachi, the librarian. This uplifting read offers a refreshing perspective on life, leaving you with a positive outlook and a reminder to embrace its simple, sometimes silly moments.

Hello, I enjoy reading mainly non-fiction, but I am looking for new ways to engage my brain by reading a variety of genres and discussing the resultant thoughts that arise! Now in my 50's, and after lifetime of 'non-stuctured' activity, I would like to see what 'joining' has to offer, and what I can hopefully offer it! I live in Twickenham BTW, South West London.

Water Moon

by Samantha Sotto Yambao | Learn more and buy

In some parts it felt a lot like a Studio Ghibli film. The characters, with their own motivations and quirks, gripped me immediately.
