Obviously so many to choose from . Masculinity , management and managing emotional states favourite book topics of mine. I ll go for ‘ The Power of Meaning: Crafting a Life That Matters’ by Emily Esfahani Smith . I like that the focus of the book is movíng away from the concept of being happy , which changes all the time , to a more stable one which is creating a meaningful life |

"The bible
Under fiction, also I think the op means a book by one author and not a multitude!
Why do you think the OP means a book by one author?"
Because he said 'one book'. The Bible is a multitude of books by a multitude of authors, written over hundred of years. The books that are selected are the ones that fit the narrative at the time, so in 'my book' it doesn't qualify and also because it's utter nonsense. |

"The Red Tent by Anita Diamont
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee was a superb read.
Also just finished the kingsbridge quadrilogy (or whatever it is) by Ken Follet is just brilliant. "
Loved the Kingsbridge series!!! |

"The life-changing magic of not giving a fuck
Sarah Knight"
Read that waiting on a connecting flight in Gatwick.
God is not great or the ragged trousered philanthropist, second written by a Dublin guy |

"Started Pachinko, but no time to finish. Is it worth getting back into it?"
Yeah - i loved it. It’s really fucked up to be honest - how much a lie can be misconstrued and can ruin lives generation after generation. I was sad it ended.. |

I am reading 'The Great Successor: The Divinely Perfect Destiny of Brilliant Comrade Kim Jong Un'.
Fascinating insight into North Korea and the new leader. |

The Third Industrial revolution is one I found super informative. May change your perspective on how we use energy.
Playing nice by J.P Delaney was a great, simple read with lots of twists too. |

Brandon Sanderson finished The Wheel of Time series after Jordan passed, did a wonderful job.
The Name Of The Wind - Patrick Rothfuss |

You say
I say its the word of God,and He used a multitude of authors as a conduit to write His word

"A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.
You'll be be in tears of laughter
If that's the movie with Robert Redford and Nick Nolte, some great lines in it  "
It was turned into a movie. Good movie, but tbh doesn't do the book justice. Well worth a read. |

Books I recommend are; The Dream of a Celt - a novel about Roger Casement, Borstal Boy by Brendan Behan - brilliant writing, hilarious, and Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time |

The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth from around 50 years ago.
A masterful tale, based loosely on reality, that outlines the value of planning, precision, making use of opportunities, research and negotiation skills, set within a context of political power, politics, colonialism, subterfuge, infiltration, honey traps and much more besides.
Frederick always does a great job. Also worth looking at is The Odessa File; another great book and film.
