_Hatha Yoga Pradipika_ by Swami Muktibodhananda
_Hatha Yoga Pradipika_ by Swami Muktibodhananda Another one of our required reading texts for my yoga teacher training course was this rather thick text. Most of my yogi-mates have avoided reading these more historical/ancient books, but the nerdy literature academic in me loves these readings the most. 😛 As per my usual routine of breaking…

_Light on Yoga:  Yoga Dipika_ by B. K. S. Iyengar
_Light on Yoga: Yoga Dipika_ by B. K. S. Iyengar Beware that the next few book write ups will be yoga related. We had quite a few that have been required for my yoga teacher training and even though not all have been assigned specifically, being a reader makes me want to get through them…

_The Power of Your Subconscious Mind_ by Joseph Murphy
_The Power of Your Subconscious Mind_ by Joseph Murphy This summer really required some reading to get a handle on my mind and my reactions to situations that were beyond my control. Rather than focus on what I could not control, I decided to look into the areas that I can. Our subconscious minds are…

_Outlander_ by Diana Gabaldon
_Outlander_ by Diana Gabaldon For the past week or so I have been consumed by this 850-page novel. I came across it on the bookshelf where residents at PR leave unwanted books for others to take freely. Although I already have a long list of books I want to read, including ones I am still…

_Second Honeymoon_ by James Patterson
_Second Honeymoon_ by James Patterson In light of yesterday’s adventure, I took along a ‘holiday’ reading for the plane ride. Also, it seems that lately I have been preferring to read paper books for some reason. Since I had bought this one in the last week of work for a discount, I thought it was…

_The Robber Bride_ by Margaret Atwood
_The Robber Bride_ by Margaret Atwood My foray into Margaret Atwood is spotty. It seems that I come across her books quite by accident. The first one I ever read by Atwood was _The Blind Assassin_, which I picked up at a thrift shop somewhere when I was visiting my parents. I devoured that finding…

_The Murder House_ by James Patterson
_The Murder House_ by James Patterson In my quest to keep distracting myself and still enjoy the long Eid weekend, I decided to give myself a little reprieve from my four other books I am reading and have some ‘holiday’ pleasure. This title popped up on my Goodreads recommended list and I put it on…

_The Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius_ by Marcus Aurelius
_The Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius_ by Marcus Aurelius Over three years ago I referred to my having read _Meditations_ by Marcus Aurelius many years back. When I came across this book a few years ago, I thought I would give it a read since I enjoyed his first philosophies so much. However, it really took…

_NYPD Red 2_ by James Patterson
_NYPD Red 2_ by James Patterson I am not sure if I have written about the first NYPD Red book in the series, but I have now read the second one in the series. 😛 This new series is entertaining enough, though not meant to be overly enthralling I am sure. It was a good…
