Once or twice over the course of us running Geeks Vs Loneliness, we’ve stopped to consider one or two book recommendations. Books, for me personally, have always been a friend in times when I’m not at my best, and often, it’s passages in books, or stories that I’ve enjoyed, that I seek solace in. That, and Jason Statham movies, but let’s focus on the books for now. Certainly when I was growing up too, and trying to figure out difficulties I was having with my dad (since resolved, and nothing short of some early teenage angst on my part), I kept going back and back again to one of my favourite ever books, Danny The Champion Of The World. I truly adore the book, and it not only blew me away the first time I read it, it continues to resonate. It’s provided help where I least expected to find it. But then books are brilliant at that. And what I thought might be an idea is to throw this one over to you fine people. Obviously it’s up to you how much you choose to share, but I wonder if you could take a minute to recommend a book that you’ve found helpful in the comments below. If you just want to put the name of the book and leave it anonymous, that’s fine. If you want to go into detail about why you’d recommend it, that’s fine too. Hopefully, then, this post can and will continue to serve as a resource for those looking for a book particularly during more troubling times in life. Thank you.
