Because I've been studying for my degree in Biology for the last three years, a lot of my reading has been either from a textbook or popular science. It's always typical that when you're studying something anything else seems more interesting than what you're doing, but I tried not to read other topics as I felt as if I'd forget the things I was meant to know. Now seems the ideal time (I've graduated) to catch up on things I find interesting. I find history fascinating but know only the basics, so I thought I'd start with this..

Then I'll see where my history takes me. Always been fascinated in Rome so I'll maybe pick up some reading on that. Tom Holland's Rubicon was a good starter for the area, great book.

Yeah don't worry, it's not all like that. It gets much more concrete after the first ten pages or something.

I don't care about the subtitle - what's horrible about the book?

Well I finished "High Fidelity" and I really liked it. Now reading http://larchmontgazette.com/2004/boo...kiterunner.jpg

It is one of those type of books that everyone should read once but you really don't reread again. Fantastic book.

In preparation for Alice in Sunderland, I've just read Alice in Wonderland and found it quite charming...(:

I got this in the mail today from Amazon. Grimm is one of my top 5 favourite MC's and when I found out there was a comic book he wrote on his life I immediately went looking for it. I was a little surprised that he didn't once mention his 2000 album The Downfall of Ibilys: A Ghetto Opera which he recorded in 1 day while out on bail before serving 3 years in prison, but oh well. I also think the artwork could've used some colouring but now I'm just getting nitpicky, bottom line is it's a great read on one of the most intelligent and underrated hip hop artists in our time.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho for some reason. Not as great as it was made out to me that it was, but I've just started.

^ That book with its author should be burned !

Just started.

Voltaire in his Letters, being a Selection from His Correspondence

he is absolutely fascinating to read. Two hours reading him feels like ten minutes. It's absolutely wonderful.
