Its just one of the most fascinating things I've read, it has introduced me to a radically different perspective on life, happiness, duty, ethics etc.. I highly recommend it. | ||

sputnik sweetheart 1 star (although i hear murakami's norwegian wood is very good; this one just isn't too great heh) siddhartha 3 stars - it is a good story, but is very grandiloquent mere christianity 4 stars - it is an easy book, which shows a lot of the nuances of a religion to a beginner; there are some flaws such as repetition of his position as a layman, but no other book on christianity is better for a starter than this besides the bible of course. i am working through crime and punishment - pretty awesome lol also reading cries of the heart i also read a ton of real science stuff which doesn't belong here... i also love sci fi but can't get really accept a lot of blood and gore...violence just doesn't attract me... might read: i, mengsk (i love sc2....although i really should take a break from it argh) and one other that i'm going to choose after reading these replies for ten more minutes. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.sfsite.com/gra/0508/ouklg.jpg) I'm reading that one right now. Nice book, got it in Dutch though, so not as good as it should be. This is part 2, finished part 1 already. It's a hard story to explain, since I needed half the book to understand it xD. Pretty much three parallel stories coming together at some point in the book. But with 'parallel' I mean that there's actually worlds of difference between them (literally). It's about the future, the battle of troy, human-made aliens and not-so-human-made-aliens. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.achievement.org/library/bookcovers/AlltheKing_0.jpg) FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU English reading list I had to jungle through the internet to get a 1949 movie version (I've heard that 2006 version sucks), so I can get motivated enough to actually read it. It was not too bad though. I still have to find time to read A Song of Ice and Fire series. Sigh, I''m getting too lazy  | ||

![[image loading]](http://opionator.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/drood1.jpg) Great book so far, very unique brand of fantasy. Next up I'm planning to read an old biography of Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, possibly the most important person in the history of Finland. Promises to be an interesting read considering what I already know of his life. Just have to be careful with the books, they're from my grandmothers shelf and >50 years old  | ||
