I read it full when I was 17, my teachers couldn't understand my bad grades at all :lol:

I'm now on the "ultimate hitchicker's guide to the galaxy", then will gon into "animal farm", "2001:a space odyssey" and then recover a few goldies: "So spoke Zaratrustra", "Ender's game", "Flowers for Algernon" and the all-mighty foundation+robots series by Asimov. It's going to be a long summer! :yesnod:

"Notes from the underground" -F. Dostoyefski

Next one probably is "The man who was Thursday" by Chesterton.

By the way hey. I'm Mark, 20 years old. Nice to be part of this board.

I'm almost finished 102 Minutes by Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn about what occurred in the twin towers during the 102 minutes between the crash of flight 11 and the collapse of the north tower.  It focuses on the human aspect of the events, something you don't get a sense of by watching the footage from that day.

Next up is Blood and Oil by Michael T. Klare or Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku.  I can't decide at this point:smirk:.

I was going to buy that one a few days ago but it might be as exagerated as that discovery channel "alien planet" documentary so I'm not too sure now... It looks ñike he is a respeced phycisyst so it might actually be good. Please let me know if you like it.

I'm halfway into Irrational Man by William Barrett, there's a ton of information on existentialism in there, next I'll be reading The Illusion of Technique by the same guy.


--------------------
The story goes, or the way that I was told
There was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low
And so he called all the wise men to the hall
And begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls
But here’s the thing, they came back with a ring
It was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king
Engraved in black, it had no front or back
But there were words around the band that said
Just know: This Too Shall Pass

hey, nice to see everyone's reading their stuff, the books mentioned here are awesome, at least the ones i've read already.

Right now i'm reading "Discoveries: Birth of the Universe" by Trinh Xuan Thuan, a very good scientific book told in simple words which recounts the universe as we know it today, from the big bang to the formation of galaxies and stars, to the appearance of life and consciousness.

Next I'm gonna read a book full of coversations between Krishnamurti, the 20th century spiritual master, and other intellectuals like physician David Bohm, and other philosophers or theologists or writers. There's about a dozen conversations in there, promises to be interesting.

last thing i was reading was Godel, Eshcher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid
a metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of lewis carroll

it's a facinating book but i got too lazy... there's just SO much informaition in it that i felt like i had to check everything he was talking about befor i could continue (like listen to Bach's diffrent works, read about music theorie, understand the mathematics he was talking about... it was just too much for me)

a friend gave it to me after i described to him how i keep getting stuck when trying to explain reality to my self :smirk:
he said that this book tied some ends for him and sounded alot like what i was talking about... maybe i should make an effort and read it now? it's been sitting on my desk for a while now!




I had a professor recommend that book to me.  Went to the library and saw how thick that fucking book was.  Cracked it open and read the intro and a few pages.  I thought the exact same thing you did.  I need more knowledge about pretty much everything if I'm going to enjoy that book.  :smile:

I've heard nothing but good things about that book though.




i got a little further then that but i really felt like i'd miss out if i don't listen to the fugues and really take my time with it... (my computer is lame and i haven't been downloading music for months  :crazy: so that kinda makes it harder too)

deepman  :thumbup:
i've never been much of a reader sadly (i'm too picky in what i read) but you're lucky i guess  :tongue:

so is it worth it... dose it actualy connect the dots?

Currently reading The Return of the King and the Doors of Perception/ Heaven and Hell. I'm thinking about either reading some William Blake, or John Milton Paradise Lost/ Paradise Found next.

William Blake is key.
