Cool, i havent. why did 1984 gave you a bad taste or what ever you wanna call it?

Anyways, as i said, the Iron Heel is just in the same catagory. The similarities ends here. Example: Like if i say a racerbike and a mountainbike is in the same catagory (bicycle), but the similarities ends there.

Pretty good so far—except for the torture scenes. I'm not too fond of those.

Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy
The God Delusion
Light on Yoga(this is an instruction book on many new(at least for me) poses in yoga, so it's not really a real book I suppose)

Not an easy read, so I am taking my time. Good if you are interested in the strategy of war, but the book also covers the philosophical aspect of war and the mindset of a succesful general which is one of the reasons I find it good. If you want to start reading about this subject I can recommend several other books that are easier to start out with, but this is a classic that had a huge impact... and I like to read grand works

Yeah, had to read them after playing the game since i thought the story was really good, and the only elements of the story i didnt like weren't from the books so absolutely had to read them. Too bad the translation is taking forever though, does he write "difficult" polish or something since its taking so long?

There were some slight discrepancies compared to the movie which sorta dissapointed me since the movie was amazing. If you have the option to watch the movie or read the book, I would lean towards the movie for this.

Reading Now:

Only read the preface so far, but looking forward to this alot. Curious as to how its gonna be different from A Fighters Heart.

Reading Next:
Don't know why I bother putting anything here as i constantly change my mind. Have been leaning towards this though:

Got it for cheap at a bookstore so I picked it up. Have been hearing mixed opinions on it.

It's an autobiography of Josh Waitzkin, multi-World Champion in Chess and Tai Chi martial arts. He studies his road to the top, in depth, and lets you in on all of his streamlined strategies for learning. It's an amazing book if you want to be good at anything, or are just curious about what kind of mindset a World Champion lives life with. I strongly recommend it. It's literally changed my life lol. =D

*Edit: This is on pause, I have more foundation to read before I can move on to this! lol (as learned on page 18).

(PRETTY good book, have "red seas under red skies" already laying around, but my next book will be a re-read:

Now reading:

In preparation of "The White Luck Warrior" i found it inevitable to read "The Judging Eye" again.
I found Bakker extremely "difficult" (well not really difficult, but i need 100% attention to grasp everything) to read but he is by far one of the most talented authors out there.
