#books #boOKs & more #BOOKS Recommendations from @FTThum

If you are in doubt as to which books (I am using plural as I presume one won’t be enough! 🙂 ) to read over the holiday season, here are some suggestions from some creative and innovative people who were presenters on the TED stage.

I have only read 5 of the many on that list, I’d better get cracking… If you wish, listen to the TED Talks of these talented people. They seem interesting and might just inspire… I for one plan to catch up on my viewing… thus speaketh the nerd 🙂

OR you can browse these Lists for ‘recommendations’:

Goodreads Choice Awards “Best Books of 2014”
Amazon’s Bestselling Books of 2014
GetReading’s 2014 Indie Awards
Bookdepository’s Best Books of 2014 (meaning bestselling I believe)
Man Booker Prize 2014 finalists
The Stella Prize 2014 longlist
Miles Franklin Literary Awards 2014 longlist

If you are into poetry or plain curious, the anthology for the 2013 Montreal International Poetry Prize Longlist is available for free download. So enjoy!

Then again, I find I spend far too much time browsing Lists, sigh! Of course, there is the road less travelled 😉 .

Follow your heart, your intuition and have a wonderful reading experience!
