Dimitar recommends The Tao of Pooh


The Tao of Pooh is a representation of Eastern wisdom, hidden in the character of Pooh and interpreted by the author. The book tells a story about how we should act in a natural way, what is our true human nature and how to reach it. The book is very short and easy to read.

Viara recommends The Five People you Meet in Heaven


This book has become one of my favorite books. I love it because it is intriguing and has an unexpected end. It gives many life lessons and has a lot of interesting thoughts and original aphorisms. Once you start, you just can't stop, until you know what will happen to Eddie, who is the main character.

Mila recommends Ishmael


This is an amazing, life-changing book that should be read by everybody. Considering the problems of our time (such as exreme growth of population, decrease in resources, extinction of a species, etc.), people are in serious trouble. Ishmael does not contain the solution to the crisis, but rather gives inspiration and hope that things can change and harmony with nature can be created once again.

Read this book. Ask questions. Find the answers.

Violeta recommends...

This is not a book that you read for half an hour and then leave. It's a book that one may read for weeks and still enjoy grasping every word. What is the life of the prostitute that never thought of being one? How does she find love through her profession? What are those 11 minutes - nothing or maybe everything? A story of a woman that chose the easy way, but it turned out to be the hardest.

Andrey and Mina recommend...


The Little Prince is considered a childish book for grown-ups. Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote his masterpiece to show people their lost imagination as they are becoming older and older. I recommend it to each person who has forgotten his or her beautiful world of naivete somewhere in the space of business and facts and figures.

I can't imagine a person who hasn't heard of that book. It is a lovely story about a little prince and his life. You know his little planet, his unique rose, and his tamed fox. A small book with deep meaning. I don't know a person who doesn't like the book.
