Most of you would have... But have you read it?
Now the number of people who say "yes" drastically comes down.
Its because most of the times, we rely on other people's reviews and comments and if its negative, we seldom read it.
OK... before I tell you why you should read his books... here's an excerpt from his blog...
A man was travelling through the desert, hungry, thirsty, and tired, when he came upon a tree bearing luscious fruit and affording plenty of shade, underneath which ran a spring of water. He ate of the fruit, drank of the water, and rested beneath the shade.Click on "Read More" if you feel he writes better than you! LOL! Just click it
When he was about to leave he turned to the tree and said:
‘Tree, oh, tree, with what should I bless you?
“Should I bless you that your fruit be sweet? Your fruit is already sweet.
“Should I bless you that your shade be plentiful? Your shade is plentiful. That a spring of water should run beneath you? A spring of water runs beneath you.”
“There is one thing with which I can bless you: May it be G-d’s will that all the trees planted from your seed should be like you…”
