Last night I finished How Can I Talk If My Lips Don't Move?
My Amazon Review: Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay (Author) is a fabulous communicator. I felt that I could truly understand the influence of Autism on Tito's interactions with the world. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a desire to understand what it means to live in this world and be Autistic. Thanks to Tito for a comprehensive explanation of your life experiences.
I downloaded the book for free in July. I rated it with 5 stars, as did the 12 Reviewers who posted before me.

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is well worth the time to read. The book gave me more insight into Ben Franklin's amazing contributions to the founding of our great nation. I had been soured on my admiration of Benjamin Franklin after reading Benjamin Franklin: An American Life. I was greatly disappointed by the neglect of his wife and family while he was partying in France.
Now that I've read Dr. Franklin's own words, I have a clearer idea of his thought process. He had a brilliant mind; and yet uncovered simple solutions to life's large and small inconveniences.
I loved rereading his plan for self-improvement, focusing on one character flaw each week for a week at a time until he had improved 13 character traits; and then repeating the process every 13 weeks, 4 times a year.
I found it interesting that 'orderliness' was the one habit that he had the most difficulty in achieving.
There were many times during the reading that my thoughts drifted and I didn't remember what I had read; but it was still worth the time for what I did learn.

Message: The Book of Proverbs
I usually enjoy reading the Proverbs of King Solomon. The book of Proverbs contains wisdom for everyday life activities. At first I was enjoying the hip language in this translation. After awhile I started comparing verses to the ESV version; and the other version was more articulate and understandable. I question the accuracy of Message: The Book of Proverbs translation.
