       Sacred Wounds: Original Innocence
       Our soul’s wounds are our pathways back to our original innocence. Our wounds are our own unique perfect design, a synchronous sacred pattern that leads us back, without fail, into our own sovereign soul. Our original innocence is our purity, which we return into after having fully felt all our human pleasures and pains, joys and sufferings, emotions and ecstasies. It is by fully embracing our humanity through the journey of life that we have the opportunity to enter into our twice born innocence.

And for them to captivate me in such a way, they must have something that I like, and that I would love to learn more. Like Kazuhiro Fujitaki's series of sleeves, which reveal subjects about the sciences, and the exact area (such as mathematics). One manga from this same series that I like a lot is the "Manga Guide to Electricity".

   I like to read many sorts of books. When I want to escape, my favourites are fantasy literature, including children's books, and murder mysteries. However, I also like to read non-fiction, about subjects which interest me such as Egyptology, Jungian psychology, mythology and other fairly esoteric matters. I read "serious" literature and classics as well, although tend not to read too many classics as I find some of them dry. I absolutely cannot abide chick lit, romance and "hard" science fiction about space ships with lots of techno-talk in them. I'm fortunate to be part of the Bookcrossing community and have come across many books and authors I would not have heard of otherwise.
   
   If you are interested, I have an annotated list of 100 books I consider top reads, because they have stayed in my mind for a long time, sometimes decades after I read them. The list is at:

   Well Bro,
   
   Your question is a very practical one and how I wish that I could answer it in a practical way. Whether it's because I was reading since the age of four and my Soul does not like to do this anymore, I cannot say.
   
   I now read only Spiritual books - books that would inspire my inner vessel and elevate my God-like status. I find them in the motivational and self-help or life-coaching categories, but mostly I go deeper into the esoteric which for me, by the way, is as natural as drinking water.
   
   The Psalms; the words of Christ, Buddha, Paul, Thomas A Kempis, Rumi, Ramakrishna; Sri Chinmoy ... are just a few. I do read the daily papers, but I really struggle with anything else. My inner being simply rejects them and shuts down. Much peace.

    Books are basically stories you connect yourself to. So I like to read the kind of books that actually relate to my life. Also, I love to read books that inspire. The books that make you pause for a moment and think, "the world isn't such a bad place after all." May it be fiction, non-fiction, or the total love story types.
    Coming to my opinion, I am seriously in love with with fiction. May it be the  most beautiful love story, "The Notebook" or, the science-fiction superhit series, "Divergent."
    As they say, the magic is in the details: these kind of books make you fall in love with the moment. With descriptions written so beautifully, you actually feel like you are a part of the moment.

    I like my own books best, but then I'm prejudiced (probably because I already know what is going to happen.)
    
    I like something I can learn from so I don't feel guilty spending my time on a guilty pleasure.  I read a lot of biographies because I'm amazed by how someone gets from where they begin to where they end up.
    
    I love historical fiction and mysteries set inside a political story.  Vince Flynn was great at that and so is Brian Haig (yes, he is related. Alexander was his father.)
    
    Reading is a guilty pleasure, and I'm cautious of how much of my day I spend doing it.  But as a writer, reading a variety of authors really is a matter of learning my craft.  (That sounds good, doesn't it?)

    Books that show the indomitable spirit of human nature.
    Books about language and communication.
    I love a well-written book about a film as long as it doesn't go too wordy and off the trail.
    It is great to find a book that makes you laugh like any of Bill Bryson's books.

    I guess the only type of books i read are the ones that let me escape the individual realities for sometime, say that be any genre. Sometimes reading is the only way that you can try to judge a person by reading his whole story rather than a live one whose life is just known in mere parts.

    For me what I class as escapist fiction is what I go for. These books are normally within the fantasy or science fiction genres and mainly classed as YA fiction.
    
    One of my top picks is Time Travel fiction.

    I like to read all sorts of books, but I enjoy stories that are light hearted  and help me to escape my problems.
    I enjoy looking at reference books on subjects like art and antiques, so that I can learn from them.

    genre of the book doesn't matter to me. I read all kinds of books. well so far I have read more books in mystery/thriller genre . Suspense triggers my boost of reading. My favourite book series so far in mystery/thriller is Sherlock Holmes.

    I like to mostly read American and British classics like Uncle Tom's Cabin, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, and so many more. I also like romance novels, political, sociological, and historical novels.
