I ordered this a while ago and did start to read it. I admit I thought I was ordering a novel, didn't realise what type of book it was. Doh. #-o

I didn't get too far into it as, unfortunately, I've kinda read this type of stuff before. While I can accept that the general notion behind it is possible, I find it all a bit....far fetched. (gosh, I'm such a cynic! :roll: )
Mind over matter is not that big of a 'secret'.

That said, I didn't finish it, so perhaps I speak too soon. I got sidetracked by one of my Roman Murder Mystery novels which I found more enjoyable. :lol:

Interesting to hear what others think.........

Should I persevere to the end? :-s

Hey Fluffs! Image

You know what, reading 'The Secret' sort of reminded me of the books I used to read when I was at college, as part of my studies. Similar. As I read it I felt like I should be taking notes to put in an essay later! :lol:
I don't think that helped.

I shall shall plod on then, with the book.

Has anyone found the book helpful in their lives, after reading it?

Completely forgot about the club!. Sadly didnt manage to read this one. May I suggest the July book be Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows. :P. I just love the books.

I think I finished the last one in two days. Stayed in my room reading solidly for most of the weekend, stopping only for food and drink :P .

If I get time I'll read this, might not get chance before the next book though.
