A quick question: Does Creating book review video violate copyrights?

[gnites88]

@gullubot They haven't said anything yet, and to the best of my knowledge using the cover image is considered fair use.

Hmm. Isn't this more of a parable as it is as a fable?

[gnites88]

@Pouroushair I think you have a point there.

I know I love finding out about new literature and sharing the beauty of art and love with others. The internet is a gift as long as it's not used as a "keep yourself busy all the time" tool.

[gnites88]

@BryanEKS89 Well said.

If you believe it or not, I came here on 05/11/2011 from a tweet from Paulo Coelho! #like

You should read "The Visible Man" by Chuck Klosterman. The book actually has a trailer, which I found after buying it. You might like it.

@gnites88 Hello gnites88. Different format yet magical, wondered if the essence of the story would be there and it is! Artistry is brilliant! I cannot share the link here in this window. But if you search above for 'Sealion books, Paulo Coelho', there is a book trailer at their channel. Happy reading!

@gnites88 It is existential in foundation, but I recommend it highly. I read it really quickly and enjoyed myself thoroughly. It's thought provoking, but had me audibly laughing in several spots.

[BluetorchQs]

@gnites88 Hehe :D

[niigatablue]

@TheMusicalInquiry Good call.

@gnites88 Haha, I get exactly what you mean. I think it depends on what you need to here at that point of time. The thing is that my friend who recommended it to me had already employed the 'destiny' thing into his life, so i myself had already heard the whole idea. Hence, it became rather trite. That's the thing bout books, it regurgitates existing ideas cept sometimes it comes off as refreshing when that's exactly what you needed to hear.
