damn that book had a huge impact on my thoughts And also on my opinion on certain new laws in Holland Like making it punishable not always having an ID with you. It really makes my fears about a control-situation come true | ||

Speed of dark (by Elizabeth Moon, really good book!) The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy Almost any Terry Pratchet book, those are really nice to read from time to time (good omens rocked :O!). When I was between 9-12 (in my dark, ancient history a whooping 2 years ago) I read Lotr 7 times per book, as well as reading silmarillion/the hobbit 4 times each -_- Just loved them, can't bring myself to read it on english now though- I just know exactly what's going to happen t.t | ||

when I was a kid I really liked Mark Twain's books about Tom Sawyer and Hucklberry Finn. I reread them in english a couple of years ago and still liked it a lot. My other favourites are Martin Eden, the Cowperwood trilogy (Financier, Titan, Stoic) I like all of Theodor Dreiser books btw, and David Copperfield by Charles Dickens and of course many art russian books | ||

 Anybody who fears for 1984 becoming reality is just out of his mind. I'm currently reading Dr. Zchivago by Boris Pasternak, it's a great book about the live of a doctor during the Russian Revolution. | ||

I loved 1984, the situation is really unrealistic, but it's just to emphasize Orwell's point about control, etc. I haven't read Brave New World, that's by Aldous Huxley right? Grapes of Wrath was so readable! | ||
