My God, can it get any worse than this:
Are You Ready to Be Awakened? Oprah Winfrey’s new book club selection is Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose. There are hundreds of blogs about this tripe!
Please, please, please – start enriching your mind people! This nonsense they are selling only serves to line their pockets as they pander to one’s hope for a quick fix :- the effortless “new you.” One does not need to read “The Five People You’ll Meet in Heaven”, “Awakening”, “Who Moved My Cheese”, or that worst one of all: Emotional Intelligence - the Fascinating theory of self-actualization!
I was so worked up about the pap they are selling at my local Dymocks in Soho – I rang up Dr. Randy Bungga for his Top 5 Favorite Books for Self Improvement. Here they are, although I confess I may have had one too many G&T’s to get the order correct:
1. Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
2. LOLITA by Vladimir Nabokov
3. A Fan’s Notes by Frederick Exeley
4. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez’
5. A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
