I,robot
and now am currently reading the restaurant at the end of the universe, 2nd of 5 ( hichhikers guide to the galaxy collection )
Vurt is one of the best books ive read.
and i, robot. What is with the movie, it has noting to do with the book. The book is a good read.
I’ve recently finished reading
“Consider Phlebas” by Iain M. Banks (took a couple of 100 pages before I started liking the books)
I have also read 6-7 short stories by Jorge Louis Borges, I like reading his stories they feels like dreams. It seems like they are logic and not locig at the same time.
I found a Borges quote I like and put in my sig “I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library”.
Right now I’m rereading “Don Quijote” by Cervantes, I was suprised it was better than I thought
I also reading some books by Ellis Peters, that is about the medieval monk Cadfael who solves crimes.
I’m reading Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny, a sci-fi / fantasy novel based on Hindu mythology.
Any other Zelazny fun here? I’ve also started the Penguin Island by Anatole France but the Lord of Light is more interesting so i guess i’ll return to the penguins after i finish with Zelazny.
The Mind of Kierkegaard by James Collins. It’s supposed to be an explanation of Kierkegaard’s philosophy with minimum stress on his life. The Gay Science by Friedrich Nietzsche. Le Mur by Jean Paul Sartre. On Religion A collection of writings by David Hume on the subject of religion. A Brief History of Time By Stephen Hawkings, about cosmology, Big Bang, Black Holes, etc… in easy language
I started with Hume now. He seems to start by asserting things he would later deny maybe because of censorship, i dunno. But it has interesting stuff. I just need to adjust to that old language
In this beautifully written novel, the storyline is centered around two dogs who escape a cruel animal research station and set out to survive in the wild. This book really plunges into the depths of emotion, morality, friendship, and the dark side of science. Definitely worth a read (especially if you enjoyed reading Mr. Adam’s masterpiece Watership Down).
I haven’t read this one yet, apparently. I’m looking forward to being able to read it when I have nothing to do. I’m getting mre and more restless at times and reading helps. Oh… and Nightfall was a nice read for anyone who might be interested in that.
I’m actually (still) also reading one of the Foundation books - Foundation and Earth, by Asimov. I’m reading it really slowly though, since lots and lots of school work keeps getting in the way. I have a Christmas break soon though, so yay!
I’ve finished Foundation’s Edge (a real good read) and I’ve been aching to read the next book Foundation and Earth since then… but we don’t have it here. You’re lucky Olesia. Foundation’s Edge really made me look forward to reading it.
For now, I’m reading Prelude to Foundation by Isaac Asimov. It’s the prequel to the Foundation series. Hopefully, I’d like this a lot too.
Dave Eggers - ‘A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius’
I’m really into this book. It’s a true story of how the author at age 22, had to raise his 8 year old brother after their parents died within a few weeks. Actually, I partly blame this book for a lot of late nights recently
