My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was really skeptical about this book. I have been toying with the idea of meditating and this seemed to me to be one of the less spiritual ones. And I was right in this regard. But also, this is the story of the author's journey exploring meditation. So, it's an autobiography as well.

It was dry and tiring sometimes for me, so it took a couple of weeks to get through this book (I listened to it as an audible audio-book, narrated by the author himself), but it absolutely worth it.

I think it's very practical and also informative, so this could serve as a sort of 101 handbook for anyone starting in the world of meditation.

Review: The Silence of the Lambs

Image
The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've read this book like 3 times when I was a teenager, but apart from the main plot I only remembered that I loved it very much. I think I didn't even know at that time that this was the part of a series. Now though I intend to read the whole series in the "correct" order so after finishing Red Dragon, I re-read Silence of the Lambs as well. Even though some memories came back during reading it was still a very exciting and enjoyable experience. Thriller and horror and not my main go-to genre, but I think Hannibal Lecter is one of the best villains of all time. I totally recommend it to anyone, even if not having read Red Dragon. So far, this is the best part of the series for me. View all my reviews
