Ok, now you gave me something to talk about.
I love anything about history, specialy 19th,20th century and 1st and 2nd WW.
My dad got me into it. My living room is full of history books.
My dad had a thing for history too. He was born in 1933 and got to see the 2nd WW. At the end, when the germans left this place, he found bunch of army stuff. Not weapons but emblems, small things, army crosses and awards.... Interesting shit.
If anybody's interested, I can take a pic of all the stuff...
Anyway, right now I'm writing a book called The Age of Extreems. The writer is ERIC HOBSBAWM. He's a freaking genious of a historian. If anybody is into history, the development of capitalism, comunism and stuff like that. Politics over the last couple of centurys, check this guy out. This is his third book I'm reading...
I like biographies of any kind. I like to read about the big and important people that made a difference.
And then there's Jules Verne. I think I have read all of his sc fi stuff.
The things that went on in his mind were just out of this world.....
Modern sci fi novels are nice, but nothing compared to the pioneers of the whole sci fi novel era.....
If anybody knows a good early sci fi writer, tell me about it.Thx.
And the history freaks, check out Mr. Hobsbawm. It's a demanding read, but the amunt af stuff you learn about the past is just mind blowing...
