Bookworms of JF, what's your favorite book (s) and why?

Nashukuru Mungu katika Urithi marehemu babu yangu alinipa ni wa usomaji vitabu. Mzee huyu alikua ni mwalimu wakati wa mkoloni, akafanya kazi baadae Kampuni ya sigara ya Afrika mashariki, kisha akawa ni mwanasiasa hadi mauti yanamkuta. Kitabu changu cha kwanza nje ya mitaala ya elimu, ni UJAMAA; ESSAYS ON SOCIALISM cha Mwalimu Nyerere nikiwa form 1 mwaka 2000. Hadi leo sijui idadi ya vitabu nilivyovisoma sbb sikua na hulka ya kuhesabu vitabu vingapi nasoma. Walau tokea mwaka jana nimeanza utaratibu huu.

Nilipokuwa chuo kikuu nilikua nasoma sana Motivational Books, kama Alchemist, the monk who sold his ferreari, The ruchest man in babylon, think big n.k.

Nilipoingia mtaani, aina hizi za vitabu niliziweka kando, na kujikita zaidi kwenye Biography, Autobiography, Memoirs, History & Economy books. Vitabu vya aina hii vinakupa picha kubwa na uhalisia kuliko Motivational books.

So far hadi sasa kwa kumbukumbu ya hataka haraka mwaka huu,2019 vitabu hivi ndivyo nimevisoma hadi sasa.

1. Third Door cha Alex Banayan (hadithi tusizoambiwa na kina Kiyosaki n.k).
2. Third Revolution cha Elizabeth Economy (safari ya Xi kuwa rais wa China na nini anafanya kuimarisha utawala wake)
3. Nothing to Envy cha Barbara (maisha ya kawaida ya N. Korea).
4. Under the loving care of our father (Kim Jung na safari ya kuanzishwa kwa taifa la N. Korea)
5. New Tsar cha Steve Meyers (safari ya Putin hadi kuwa Rais wa Urusi).
6. Shoe Dog cha Phils Knight (Kuanzishwa kwa Kampuni ya Nike).
7. Holocaust cha martin Gilbert (Hitler na mauji ya wayahudi 1940s).
8. Zionism (historia ya dhana ya kuanzishwa kwa taifa la Israel)
9. Ottoman Empire (historia ya kale ya uturuki).
10. Attarturk book (kuanzishwa kwa taifa la kisasa la Uturuki)
11. New sultan (Rais Erdogan na safari yake kuwa Rais wa Uturuki na nini anafanya).
12. CEO China (Kuhusu Xi).
13. Kochland cha C. Leonard (safari ya kibiashara ya Charles Koch, 11th rich man)
15. Permanent Record cha Snowden.
16. Mdhamini cha Japhet Nyangoro.
17. ,the secret club that runs the world cha Kate (Juu ya commodity traders na ushawishi wao duniani)
18. King of oil cha Daniel Amman (safari ya kibiashara ya Marc Rich).
19. Oil kings cha Andrew Scot
20. Qatar; small country big politics.
21. Dictator land cha paul kenyon (jinsi gani viongozi madikteta wa kiafrika walivyoiibia afrika kimfumo).
22. Its too dangerous to be right when the goverment is wrong cha jaji andrew (ni vipi mfumo wa kisheria wa marekani unafifisha haki za binadam)
23. Shake hand with the devil cha R Dellaire ( Ni vipi uzembe wa makusudi wa UN na mataifa makubwa kama US,france ulipelekea Mauaji ya Rwanda ya 1994)
24. In praise of blood cha Judi river (Ni kwa vipi kagame na RPF walishiriki mauji ya 1994 Rwanda).
25. Guns, Germs and Steel cha Jared diamond (akieleza hoja yake kuwa maendeleo ya mataifa mbalimbali hasa ya ulaya yametokana na geographical locatio yao na sio ubora wa race wala tamaduni).

Kwa uchache ni hivyo.

Paula, how do you see Kiyosaki Concepts?
I have read a lot of his rich dad series.

I don't buy into all of his idea, but concepts like ;
Anything you have to pay for (e.g car, house etc) is a liability.
Buy low, sell high.
Don't trade your time for money.
Make the money work for you.
The concept is very common and sound advice. His book it's worth reading, but people get fooled by it.

Inategemea na tafsiri yako. Lakini ukisoma The richest man in babylon anakupa kanuni 7 za fedha.. mathalani anakuambia tunza 10%, wekeza n.k... lakini ni wangapi wametajirika kwa njia hizo kiuhalisia 'sijui', lakini ukisoma Kochland ambacho kinamuelezea tajiri wa 11 duniani, na tajiri wa kwanza wa kampuni binafsi, unaona utajiri ni wa njia za dhulma, wizi n.k (unethical). So yaweza kuwa zote ni motivational, lakini katika uhalisia tofauti.

I have read both Angel and demons and The Da Vinci Code. The writing is not simple but contents were very easy to get through. Personally I find his books very entertaining and full of joy.

To me he's not the greatest author, he writes like a teenager who just discovered poetry not to mention similarity of his stories (kind of the same story with a different name).Although I don't hate him, his books are just pure entertainment.

I enjoy reading Brown too. The Da Vinci Code is truly a fascinating story though the idea of the beloved disciple being a female is quite preposterous making the climax far from believable.
 
Another fascinating fiction author is Thomas Harris( The Red Dragon, The Silence of The Lambs, Hannible etc.

I lost my mom 3yrs ago, it was pretty shattering and numbing. My friend recommended this book to me, "The Reptile Room" by Lemony Snicket. This is children's series of unfortunate event but I read them as an adult and helped me a ton.
At first I didn't want to accept that my mom is gone even after her funeral, but this quote helped me out to accept the reality,

"It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know."

This quote from the book also helped me when I thought I'd never be happy without her by my side and how to cope without her.

"I think we'll always miss our parents. But I think we can miss them without being miserable all the time. After all, they wouldn't want us to be miserable."

Since then, I hate to express my sadness, I would rather smile and show that everything is okay even if I feel depressed. I don't want my mom to worry about me because I know all she wants is for me to be happy.

This book has became the best book to me, followed by A grief observed by Lewis and Love, Aubrey by Suzzane Lafleur.

They take everything literally as if will workout for everyone and as if it was the only book out there.

There are questions like,Did the author became rich by their own teaching? . The few years before the book came out, he wasn't rich at all. He made his money from the book and his good marketing of the book. Even after being rich, Kiyosaki's company went bankrupt, this means his own teaching didn't work for him or reading only the book doesn't make you rich.

The concept like buying house/owing house is a liability cause many of his followers went broke and they are now homeless.
