It seems that behind every famous woman there is at least one famous book which has helped her making an outstanding career. Preity Smith contacted me sending the link to one awesome article that shows clearly how true that statement is. Here is one excerpt:
"Famous women, whether they’re actresses, journalists, writers or athletes, can serve as role models to women, and men, all around the world. While you probably shouldn’t emulate everything these famous women do, when it comes to reading they can help recommend some seriously great books you might not have to read for college or know to pick up at your local library. Here are forty celebrity women and the books they love, which might just become the books you love too."
Would you like to find out more? Here is the link to the whole list:

Nice!! Thanks for the encouraging comment on Foucault's Pendulum - it is a hard read, and I think it makes sense to just keep reading without trying to understand everything.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea who all those writers/philosophers are, the book refers to dozens and quotes from several!
Im going to go take a look at this article.
ReplyDeleteDee don't be discourage, it is a difficult book and the author seems to play with the readers!
ReplyDeleteBrooke let me know whose choice was the best in your opinion!

ReplyDeleteI see Oprah's favourite book is Anna Karenina
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved Foucault's Pendulum - definitely worth persevering with Dee.
Maria Sharapova loved The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: who would guess tennis stars have enough time to read classics?
