The One Minute Reader

Excitement, warmth, challenge, fun, gratitude, curiosity, love and many other feelings will be yours as you spend one brief minute on each page in this unique book. DonÂ’t be surprised if you take a second minute to reread it an a few more minutes to rethink the thought it provoked.

Here are pages of thoughts about classics, best sellers and some unheard of books. The thoughts shared about the book will give you a new appreciation of the book and the person recommending it.

Many of the contributors are known in every household and some are known only in their own household, but they have on thing in common: their willingness to share a few thoughts about a favorite book and why they enjoyed it.

Hopefully their thoughts will inspire you to visit your bookstore today, to purchase and enjoy the entire book.

You are the same today as youÂ’ll be in five years, except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read.

This review is from: The Books You Read: Historical Edition (Hardcover)

Charlie Jones shows he is a master of cutting to the chase and teaching us the lessons of History that are found in the individuals that make it. Read it and see why Charlie is one of my heroes. Now, do yourself a favor and order it. While you are at it, buy a copy of "Life is Tremendous." It Is and the book is too.
