The Autobiography of a Yogi | Paramhansa Yogananda

so-so

I wanted to step away from “white people” memoirs for the #mandmchallenge #classic prompt. And this one‘s been #ontbrforever so it fit a #readwithmrbook prompt. But, ugh, it wasn‘t an easy book to read. Antiquated language and a LOT of spiritual oddities just didn‘t work for me. But I enjoyed the travel and stories about India in early 20th century.

Cinfhen, alisiakae

alisiakae This has been on my TBR for a while too! I think I first saw it mentioned in

Every Body Yoga: Let Go of Fear. Get on the Mat. Love Your Body.

BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft I‘d love to read that yoga book. Have heard such good things. As for the Autobiography—I picked it up for my very first Kindle. A thousand years ago! But ugh ... the book wasn‘t for me. 5y

Gissy I read your full review. I have more or less the same impression about this book maybe because I don't know much about this culture and I am not either a spiritual or religious person. However, there are some principles that I just admire and respect from this practice and culture. I visited their main center in California ages ago. Beautiful and peaceful place. They have also a temple in PR. I can't do any yoga😳Thanks for the review🤗 5y

Cinfhen At least you gave it a fair chance 🙏🏻💕😘 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Gissy I‘m sure their centers are peaceful! Interesting that they have a place in PR too. I love yoga but this book ... sooo dull. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Oh yeah ... I finished it. It was sooo hard. But now I‘m reading a charming, recent book about India.

Gun Island

Cinfhen It‘s an awesome cover and I know he‘s a popular author!! I‘ll be watching for your review 😊 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen I just finished Gun Island yesterday. Working on the full review but I positively LOVED it. It's full of issues, but not heavy. It's intense but not overly dark. Really, really well done. And I'm excited that Ghosh has such a backlist I can go catch up on! 5y

Cinfhen Ohhhhh!!! Thanks 😊 I‘m having trouble focusing on all my current reads so I‘m happy to pick up new recommendations 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen I hear ya. Maybe this one will stick a little more. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y

Now I get what all the fuss was about! Such a compelling, ageless, brilliantly written book. I have never seen a more nobler soul than Atticus Finch. Great story, gripping characters. All the stars.

Finished three this week. Two felt like slogs (for different reasons), so I‘m pleased with myself. (Reviews to come soon!) Three more in progress. Is it wrong to be most interested in the kids‘ book I‘m reading b/c my granddaughter is reading it? Nah ... I‘m good with that.

Litsi Not wrong because it is The Tale of Desperaux! One of the best books ever. 5y

Cinfhen I used to love reading along with the kids!!!! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Litsi Right! I remember when our grandson read it a few years ago, and that he loved it. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Yes, it should help me escape for a few hours! 5y
