I'm in a pretty big reading slump, last book I read was Surrender by Sonya Hartnett back in mid-November last year. I've tried reading several books since then but just can't seem to do it, I want to but I just can't. I've been trying to read Truckers for the past 2 weeks but haven't managed to get anywhere, literally.

I dont read fiction
I'm currently reading 'Lost City Of The Incas' which is the journal of Hiram Bingham describing how he found the Incan cities of Vitcos, Vilcapampa and of course Macchu Picchu. Before that I read a book entitled 'Our Haunted Planet' By John A Keel... which is definetly one of the most amazing books I have ever read ever. Quote:

You might well like "Ten Days that Shook the World", then. It was written at the time of the Russian Revolution, by an American journalist who was there at the time. Since he was writing for a Socialist newspaper at the time, there's not that much bias, which is nice.
It's pretty good, I'd recommend it if you're not into fiction. |

I currently readin' "The universe in a nutshell" by Stephen Hawking. before that I had his "Briefer history of time" and before that "The quantum universe" by two scientists Ic annot remember by now. BUT before that I read three books from Michael Crichton and those were fantastic. Before that I had Dan Brown with "sakrileg" (whatever the english name is), "the davinci code" and "meteor" - but I think his books ALWAYS have the exactly same plot ...
 -- what is this "1984" book about? what was so special with 1984 ? |

It was just what George Orwell predicted the world would be like at the time. I believe it was written in 1948, so if you swap the two last numbers around, you get a reverse side of it, so to speak.
Anyway, it's more a social commentary than anything else. It's quite interesting, though. |
