Websites to Watch-2: HOLYBOOKS.COM

Prof Raghunathan very kindly drew my attention to this wonderful website and provided me the link.  Since then I have downloaded many great books and have also enrolled for the Monthly Newsletter the site sends. The site is HOLYBOOKS.COM.  I am reproducing the info provided by the site, about it:

"Holy Books is the largest collection of high quality sacred texts, holy books, spiritual texts as PDF ebooks you will find on the Internet. All books are free to download. For example you can download the Bible, download the Quaran, the Vedas and thousands of ancient texts on religion and spiritual practice.

All books are Free Public Domain Books. This means that you can download and read them for free from this site. If you are aware of books that should be on this site please contact me, by sending an email to webmaster: hh@ytr.dk. I sometimes get mails about possible copyright infringement. I have removed some books because I have made a mistake about copyright, but some books where actually public domain books despite what the publishers told me. When I am in doubt about the status of a book I use these copyright guidelines for books (This website is operated from Denmark, and therefore 'the author life + 70 years' is what I follow as a general guideline)'

HolyBookscom is and maintained by Danish freelance journalist Hans Henrik Lichtenberg. All suggestion are very welcome. Send a mail to hh@ytr.dk

I am reproducing below a recent mail (newsletter) I received from Holybooks.com:

Quotes on Reading-3:

Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss - Nora Ephron

Quotes on Reading-2:

New Books-20: "SUPER BRAIN" by Dr Deepak Chopra and Dr Rudolph E.Tanzi

"SUPER BRAIN" by Dr Deepak Chopra and Dr Rudolph E.Tanzi

I am a great admirer of Dr Deepak Chopra.  Reading his books always give me immense pleasure.  They are thought-provoking and contain a lot of useful info.

Yesterday I came across a news clipping about his new book, SUPER BRAIN.  It has been co-athored with Dr Rudolph E.Tanzi, an expert in the field of Alzheimer's disease.

I started browsing for more information and could get the following details:

The book is available in India and is priced at Rs.599/- and the special offer price is Rs.359/-.  It contains 336 pages.  Its ISBN code is 978-0-307-95682-8.  I also could read sample pages from the book, which only confirmed my expectations.  The sub-title of the book gives more info: Unleashing The Explosive Power Of Your Mind To Maximize Health, Happiness And Spiritual Wellbeing.

I also read an interview by the authors about the book.  

All these make me crave for the day I can lay my hands on the book and start devouring it.

I am waiting.
